CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

Actually, that final picture was more appropriate for the time period between Thanksgiving and today.

On this day...

Most teachers more closely resemble the rambunctious CATs in the first two pictures!

The adrenaline shot of the day before Christmas vacation is better than spiked eggnog!

POSTSCRIPT:

About that last picture...

Twas, indeed, a Christmas card.

The caption that explains the battered feline:

I removed the caption for two reasons:

• It didn't fit my CAT tale

• More importantly, I found it morally offensive. CATs don't have "owners"...CATs - both the four-footed and two-footed variety - have "people" who provide food and/or paychecks, some of whom think that that service gives them some kind of almighty power.

  Some free holiday advice:

  If "sit", "beg", and "fetch" are important to you, find out how much is that doggie in the window!
