This post back in December, 2005, was a wonderful idea that I got from another blogger and I tell you, the
"stories" in the comments will lift your spirits and give you some hearty laughs.
Check It Out!
Cats.
And below, another pair of darlings----more huggables,
for sure!
And such pretty pretty faces!
And below, another scrumptious kissable.....
Those blue eyes just knocked me out.
What a truly handsome dude he was.....And as Sweet as his name.

What a great post and I loved reading back over your the old one. The stories that were made up were so funny. Can you imagine if they were true! Ha.
I loved seeing your Sweetie again, 12 years is a long time to have a little four legged friend in your life, I bet you do still miss him.
Happy Christmas Naomi! I hope you get to do lots of wonderful things on Christmas day!- Sunday, December 22, 2013 at 10:27:00 AM PST

Merry Christmas Naomi!... I do love you put Sweetie's photo there at the end!
Those are the bluest eyes I've ever seen on a cat!
Please be well and have a wonderful Holiday.xoxoxo- Sunday, December 22, 2013 at 1:07:00 PM PST

What a great post in 2005, those comments were delightful. I read them all and marveled at the creativity. Or was is all creativity?? Maybe a glimmer of truth there??? Ha ha.
Loved the kitty cards but the picture of Sweetie is the best. Those eyes were just stunning. I too miss my furry friend.
Hope this Christmas is full of fun, friends, family and good health.- Sunday, December 22, 2013 at 2:23:00 PM PST

SO fun to read those made-up stories, most of which show you up as a wild and crazy lady!! Now, if you caught yourself at any time thinking "oh my gosh, I DO remember that", then you would need to 'fess up right now, in THIS year's post!!
The vintage kitty-cat cards are so very sweet, I would love to hug every one of those little furry elves. The one with Santa is an absolute delight...what a big cat that is, and how totally at home he is in the lap of the Big Guy!
While I was reading through I began to hope that Sweetie would show up as being one of the most wonderful kitties-in-white who took care of you for 12 delightful years...and there he was! I miss him, too.
Happy Holidays, dear Naomi, I'm so glad to be a blogging part of your holiday cheer :-)- Sunday, December 22, 2013 at 7:09:00 PM PST

I love these vintage cards. I have a nice little collection of them and even have one of these! (The second one.) But my favorite photo of all of them is dear Sweetie.
Sending you wonderful holiday wishes.- Monday, December 23, 2013 at 12:50:00 PM PST

Such beautiful cards! I think I love the one with Santa holding a sleeping cat the most. There's nothing more peaceful that holding a purring kitty.
And Sweetie was indeed so beautiful.
Merry merry Christmas, my friend!- Monday, December 23, 2013 at 6:59:00 PM PST

Merry Christmas my dear Naomi Naomi!
I am glad to see lovely Sweetie and his gorgeous blue eyes!
Love this post, the beautiful cards and read the post written on December 20th, 2005 and the comments.
Wishing you a Very Happy 2014!

I'm glad you included darling Sweetie. As you know he has pride of place in my office.
I started my blog a few weeks after you but it was some time before I discovered you.
That was certainly a lucky day for me.
When you think blogging friends probably communicate more that off line friends so you really do get to know one another.
Long may it continue.
I wishing you a merry holiday and a happy healthy 2014. Take care dear friend.- Tuesday, December 24, 2013 at 8:45:00 AM PST

What a wonderful post this is! My own beautiful Dixie Rose is on the sofa, wondering what I'm ooh-ing and aah-ing about. If she knew that I was being unfaithful with other kitties, she wouldn't be pleased, let me tell you!
I don't think I've ever seen eyes so blue as those your Sweetie had. Dixie has been with me twelve years now. It's hard to believe that many years have passed - they do run quickly.
You're exactly right that they can crawl into our hearts. And what comforts they are - dogs are nice, and I haven't a thing against them. But cats are special.
Now I'm off to read the posts you linked - a nice thing to do on a quiet Christmas eve before travel tomorrow. I hope your Christmas is warm and content - just like Santa in his picture!- Tuesday, December 24, 2013 at 6:59:00 PM PST

Sweet! My cat Vasil has an expression *identical* to the cat in the next-to-last one. Like he is thinking, "Holy shit, woman!"
Merry Christmas to you too! I will check out the links.- Wednesday, December 25, 2013 at 12:46:00 AM PST

I will click on the link and read your old post in a minute, but I just wanted to wish you a wonderful holiday season, my friend. I do love the kitty Christmas pics, especially the ones of the two light gray kittens (those eyes!) and your adorable Sweetie. Sending you virtual hugs and wishing you a day of peace and much love! ♥

That was fun to look back on! I'd try it on my blog but would fear that no one would comment on the fake memory, so many less commenters these days.
I do love the old fashioned cards best and Sweetie's beauty takes my breath away. I've been thinking of you this holiday season and wishing you could taste some of this gourmet chocolate Josh got me from the Chocolate Lounge in NC. xo- Thursday, December 26, 2013 at 8:46:00 PM PST

Hi Naomi! I came to get your blog link for a friend & started reading. I didn't know Sweetie passed on & know how much you loved him. I remember you telling me about all his "bowls"- thinking of that now makes me smile.
You both gave each other so much unconditional love.- Friday, January 10, 2014 at 1:04:00 PM PST
