That cat came back for New Year’s dinner. We were not happy at all.
“I have a plan,” said Josie. “We don’t have to take this.”
“What are you going to do?” asked Kiko-san.
“Not what I am going to do, what we are going to do.” replied Josie.
Out came Miss Harley from that dratted box, wandering all over our house;
looking at us as though we were the main course for supper.
So we came up with a plan, we would just keep talking, about everything, scolding her,
and keeping her off guard. Only problem was that the more we talked the more interested she was in us.
The mommies kept calling her back, and we just kept talking. Our mommy was getting quite annoyed with us. Miss Harley was getting more curious.
“May be we should shut up now.” said Kiko-san. “Mommy is not happy with any of us.”
“Maybe she will go home soon, “said Josie.
“Hope so.” Said Kiko-san
This continued all evening, finally we got ready for bed, but not before we forced Miss
Harley into her box and we got to fly around.
“You two are going to bed,” said Mommy. “That should put a stop to all this nonsense.
That is the last we saw of the New Year’s Cat, something tells us that won’t be the last
time, just wait until next year…

‘The New Year’s Cat’ is a delightful little story to ring in the New Year…Josie and Kiko-san were not happy with the return of Miss Harley for a New Year’s Day visit…I can still see the confused Miss Harley wondering why she was being forced into her little cage…it was a wonderful New Year’s Day and the overly curious Miss Harley learned that Josie and Kiko-san can look after themselves…this is a great ‘Budgie Tale’…it certainly is.
