A Kitten For Christmas?

Someone very gently asked me if I'd like a black kitten for Christmas. In a weak moment I considered it. I wasn't against the idea exactly. I even agreed that Sandy and I could welcome a little kitten into our home at Christmas. Don't know what the outcome of all the discussion will be, but I may be adopting a new cat. If he/she comes for Christmas I'll name it NOEL. It may be good company for Sandy who follows me around most of the day when he's not sleeping. It'll also give him a little competition. He won't be "top cat" anymore. Maybe Sandy will refrain from waking me up in the middle of the night if he has a companion. Of course, there's always the reverse of that. The two cats could take turns waking me up at night. In any case, it's yet to be determined if I'll receive a new kitten or not. Que Sera, Sera.
