Papa Claus Visits Early

Dec 17, 2025 | 20 comments

Papa is really a great guy!!! I was lucky to have him as my papa.

*****

This is a photo of our neighbor’s decorations on the little trees that are all over our village. The city puts red bows on all the trees, but my neighbor actually decorates the one in front of her house and puts lights on it, too. Such a sweet neighbor! She was an animal trainer and was obviously good at it, as she has a new little furry poodle who SITS on command and she is only about 4 months old! A real darling little doggy.

Well, we had an early visit from another Santa dressed in a Papa suit! Rasta, who must remain outdoors around our house and garden because he brought fleas a few weeks ago before mama treated them and so he is an outdoor visiting kitty an that’s the rule! BUT, he now has a sweet little shelter outdoors that Santa Papa made for him and we are sure he’ll be dry there, should he visit when it is pouring rain.

We think he comes even when it’s raining because he’s hungry. Don’t let mama get started about Rasta’s mama and papa because she still doesn’t have the facts about why he is out in rain when the door to the steps to his own house (3rd floor apartment) is always open, thank heaven at least for THAT.

But here is his new abod for when he visits. Is that cute or what? It is raised off the patio and has nice thick carboard support for his little skinny body. Mama is about to treat him again in a week and he should be right as rain after that. And mama is going to talk to his mama when she can. We think she is out of town until next week.

More later on this…

We do know that he “eats around” but maybe no one is home at the houses he usually visits, about which we know ZILCH!

Well, we blew it on Wordless Wednesday, I guess, haha.

That shelter area is purrfect for Rasta. Too bad his humans don’t seem to want to take good care of him. But at least he has your mama and papa and you looking out for him.

Thank you for giving Rasta a shelter from the rain and a spot to have a snack when he visits you. Glad his flea problem is better and hopefully will be GONE – I’m quite sure he won’t miss it either because it has to be uncomfortable to be itchy all the time!

Hugs, Teddy and Pam

It’s so nice he has a shelter now and your mama feeds him. Some people want a pet, but don’t want it to bother them when they aren’t in the mood to be bothered. They don’t seem to understand this is a living being which needs companionship, not just food and water and a place to sleep.

That was sweet of your Papa. They should be safe from fleas though because they treated him. I would take him in and never left him out. XO

A nice place for him to get out of the weather and have a meal. Well done.
