A holiday gift guide, by Cat.

Hello. This Cat.

This month when Cat browse on metal box, Cat encounter holiday gift guides. Puzzlement. Cat’s observations:

✅ Gift guide is list of things that can be acquired by trading moneys.
✅ After trade money for things, must wrap in colorful papers.
✅ When things are wrapped in colorful papers, have name of presents.
✅ Once many days pass, may trade presents for other presents.

Strange.

However, Cat is not judgemental and Cat deeply desire to participate in human activities, so Cat has make gift guide for readers. No need trade moneys for Cat’s gifts. No need look very far for find Cat’s gifts. No need wrap in colorful papers if not want to. No need wait many days for give. Only need creative imaginings and open mind...

Personal, timeless, plentiful. Only need invest in copious grooming to procure. Hairball smell gamey. If have solid center, firm like cocoon. Soft, felted, organic.

Old family heirloom from tree, name of Oak. Classic. Smooth-bodied with fragile, dry cap. Capsule of enduring potential. Big potential. Holder of wishes, dreams, and luck.

Solid. Various. Natural. Come in two size: pebble and rock. Feel smooth and cold to touch. So smooth, feel almost softish. Human hold in pocket, Cat hold in paw.

Relic of fleeting light-loving being. Find near light source or swept into dark corner. Taste is dull, powdery, bland. Over time, observe transformation into dust: magics!

Abstract. Sculptural. Kinetic. Long life. Can bounce, flick, and curl. Fun. Friend to bags, always hugs tightly. Find in pantries, near loaves or with cords behind metal box.

Contains smell of fall and cooler airs. Body is papery, crisp. Have elegant, addictive crunch. Come in many colors and flavors. All make distinct pose. An offering of time.

Moves with lightest winds. Crumple-crumple, and soft rustle clambers into ears. Surface reflective. Have many faces, many glitters. Come in very many endless forms.

Knobby, gnarled, pliant. Together, make fires. Savor when al dente, firm to bite. Have damp, mossy flavor, or peppery, brittle. Each one singular, but connected to whole.

Thick nubby textures. Fibers strong, withstand skippity paps and bunny kicks. Some come in pair, some singletons. Find in dark corner of closet or under bed. Well-loved.

Flutters but no have wings, shrivels but no lose spirit. Hides in pages of book, or hitches ride under foot. Vessel for memories and holder of enchantment. Beauty!

Cat’s gifts simple. Maybe, Cat’s gift guide make more room for readers to play. More time have play, must give body and mind more time nap and rest. Make big sleep.

One of Cat’s readers ask why Cat sleep so much. Cat sleep so Cat can travel to dreamland. Dream big, play big. Without dream life, Cat’s waking life can feel hollow, taste like dead moth: dull, powdery, bland.

Lately Cat dreams of riding freight train through tall grasses. Cat dreams of deep-sea diving and eating magic cactus in a desert of the unreal. And of course, Cat dreams of endless shrimp. What do Cat’s readers dream of? Please share in comment.

Thank you for playing, Cat 🐾
