The Oddest Christmas Eve

It says in the Grinch that a strange wind blew that night.. I believe a strange wind was blowing last night but I have not found the Grinch yet. I have gone through some tough Christmas Eves like the first one when my soul mate died but I always managed to pull myself together. It was not like that last night for some reason everything seemed to be not quite right.
I was in the kitchen making some garlic dip and for some reason, my hand hit the glass bowl I was using against the counter and it broke neatly in two. I stood there trying to figure out how in the world that had happened. The country rat was going crazy in its cubby hole and scurrying about.
I was wondering if other people besides might be affected too. I found out that the outside cats were affected. I got into bed and about 3 AM there was banging and snarling on my front porch. I realized a major catfight was going on. In all the time that I have been here not a single catfight has broken out but this Christmas it did. I looked through the window and saw a large gray cat run down the stairs. Poor old Tux the black and white one remained. He is an old cat and doesn’t need to get into major fights so I gave him some milk which he loves and went back to bed.
Nope, it was not a usual Christmas Eve at all. Today went much better. I worked on my PC all day and the time just flew by.

It could very well be because they have always gotten along even with the visiting squirrels and the opossum that comes around. So it has to be that it was affecting them @vandana7

I am always amazed at how white he manages to keep his fur @DianneN but he is not the type to become anyone's cat

@RasmaSandra At least he trusts you enough to give him milk.
Cats are meticulous!

cat fights were common where I used to live - it seems stranger without them now - hope the cats were not hurt

@RasmaSandra Cats often use more noise than actual violence in their confrontations

My friend told me the older one Tux in the photo had a few scratches but that was all @arthurchappell

I was lucky not to cut it on that bowl. You can imagine it was as if someone would accidentally smack your hand and it would hit against the counter bowl and all and neatly break in two @Tampa_girl17

I am over the holiday blues and all the strangeness and I plan on getting myself some things I have been carving for a New Year's Eve treat while I watch movies @DocAndersen

Cats have two sides good and bad Bad when they fight over a female.
