[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Her name is Celeste, my Husband and I found her abandoned in our barn in Vermont with two other kittens 5 years ago. She sits on this little stool I made most everyday and waits for Santa to come, I keep telling her shes got a few more days to wait but shes too excited I guess!

Hi Donna,
Cats are always fascinated by the Christmas decorations, I wonder why??
Mine have tried to demolish our christmas tree since we made it!
I hope Santa didn't forget Celeste!
Have a Merry Christmas!

Dany

You have a very Christmassy home, Donna!
So colourful, so inviting...
Here you depict so well the atmosphere of waiting!
Greetings,

:-) OK-

Hi Donna,

I good thing that she is no kitten anymore, because from experience I know they love to play IN the tree and with all the wonderful decoration hanging there.
Be glad that she patiently waits on things to come. Hope Santa brought her a treat.

TFS (10 days to wait? you'll manage!)

This is REALLY beautiful. A very nice cat looking quite curious. I love all the surrounding colors. Very nice house plant :) TFS

Wow, she's a big healthy looking cat Donna. Santa may be scared when he comes in and sees this big cat lol. Good colorful shot for sure. I see you have many plants...you and my wife would get along great:)

Merry Christmas,
Lyndon

Hello Donna ! She looks like Garfield ! :-) Great story and great shot ! Have a wonderful Christmas time ! Thanks,

Mario

Cute! and Celeste seem enough in shape! You had good care of her!
I like that Christmas decorum! It's a beautiful scene!
I don't believe cats take care about that festivity... But mine is happy cause for the occasion i give her a real generous meal that she enjoy! More then habitually :)
Merry Christmas!

Hi Donna, our female cat sat amongst the gifts on the table and knocked some on the floor which the pup immediately grabbed.

Lovely image, perfect detail in Celeste's fur, vibrant colours and well composed. TFS,
David
