Seven Swats, No Swimming! double sided Ceramic Ornament
The 7th design in the collection, "The Twelve Cats of Christmas" by Jane Sayre Denny, spoofing the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" wherein on each of the 12 days before Christmas, "my true love sent to me..." some wild animal or unruly mob. Our designs replace each day's gift with cats... much preferable, we think, to the cacophony of noisy birds and mayhem in the song. I mean, if he was really my true love, shouldn't he have sent cats? And since cats do things their own way, the festivities are not what you expect! In the seventh measure of our song, we trade the famous Seven Swans a-Swimming for Seven Swats, No Swimming! Because you know, cats hate water, but they can't resist a full bathtub. Enjoy the Twelve Cats of Christmas seventh verse on a Christmas tree ornament. Also a book available on Amazon.com, The Twelve Cats of Christmas won the International Cat Writers' Association 2012 Certificate of Excellence, Muse Medallion, and the Kuykendall Image Award for outstanding image series featuring cats. A portion of every sale goes to help homeless and rescued cats in NYC.
