Disciples of The Leader Otis,
Brother Henry here.
It is my honor to be the Grand Marshall for the 2014 Box Day Catstravaganza! In order to get myself in the proper spirit, I have spent the last several hours sitting in a box. OK… I’ll admit it… I would have been sitting in this box for hours even if I wasn’t going to be overseeing the Box Day observance. I am a cat after all.
I would have sat in the box whether or not I was Grand Marshall of Box Day. I’m a cat… and it’s an awesome box.

Disciples of Otis,
Brother Oliver here.
Since the Guardians put a sweater on me and antlers on Brother Henry, I figured it was only a matter of time before they dressed Thomas up to show his Catsmas spirit. And they did! They made him wear a Santa hat. Here’s the photo to prove it!
See! the Guardians dressed Thomas up too, so he shouldn’t have laughed at Brother H and me.
That’s right, Thomas had to wear something silly too! I bet he regrets laughing at Brother Henry and me now! Huh? What did you say Thomas? This never happened? I created the photo in what? “Photoshop”? What’s that? Is that a place you go to buy cameras? What did you say? If you’re wearing a hat in the photo why are your ears showing? Uhhh… ummmm… well… clearly the hat had ear holes! Why are you laughing at me again? Never mind.
Meowy Catsmas everyone! From the Guardians, Brother Oliver Brother Henry, and Sir Thomas… who is definitely wearing a Santa Hat.
So Sayeth Brother Oliver

When I walked into the living room this morning I could not believe what I was seeing. Brother Oliver was wearing a Catsmas sweater! Before I even knew what I was doing, I started laughing out loud. He just looked so funny!

Box Day 2014 is nearly upon us! I have been given the honor of being this year’s Master of Ceremonies, so I’ve been sitting lots of boxes to get myself in the right headspace for the job.

Yesterday, I entered the living room and saw Brother Oliver sitting on a blanket in the middle of the floor. He seemed lost in thought, and he occasionally muttered to himself. I heard him say something like, “I just don’t know if I can… I mean… I still can’t believe that they’re… gone…”
Brother Oliver was sitting in the middle of the living room thinking and talking quietly to himself.

It’s Thomas. Well, we all really got into the Mew Year’s spirit and danced our buns off last night, but around midnight The Brothers broke out the catnip. I didn’t have any because I was still too busy dancing at the time.

Disciples of Otis,
Brother Oliver here. Mew Year’s Eve has arrived and all of us kitties are having a party. 2013 was a rough year, and frankly we are glad to see it coming to an end. We are welcoming the New Year with a boisterous show of optimism by dancing our furry little buns off all day and all night long. It’s still early here, but Brother Henry and I have already been at it for hours!
Brother Henry and I have already been dancing for hours!
Even Thomas is getting in on the merriment, although he insists that Brother Henry and I clear the dance floor when he feels the urge to boogie. That kid can really kick up his heels!

As it gets closer to midnight, we’re going to break out the catnip and really get this party started! Have a great Mew Year’s Eve, everyone!
So Sayeth Brother Oliver

People and fur people who are Disciples of The Leader Otis,
It’s Thomas, and it is my honor to be the Grand Marshal for Box Day 2013! I’m still a little nervous, but I think I can do this. Ummm… wait… what do I do again? Oh no! I forgot! I… WHAT BROTHER OLIVER? JUST SHOW THEM THE PICTURES? Oh, yeah! Without further ado, let’s look at this year’s submissions!
Our first submission comes to us all the way from Brazil! Disciple of Otis Ivy sent a wonderful photo of her cats Gigi and Juju sitting a box together. Both kitties were adopted and Ivy says they will never be in Limbo again. That makes me really happy!
That’s a mighty fine box sit Juju an Gigi!

Disciples of Otis,
Brother Oliver here. I thought it was the best idea for a Catsmas surprise ever. The Guardian had left the wrapping paper right there on the floor. It would be so easy!
It was going to be the best Catsmas surprise ever!
My plan was to wrap myself in the paper turning myself into a kitty shaped Catsmas present. I would then ask Brother Henry to put all of your addresses on the outside of the package and drop me in the mail. That way I would be dropped off at each of your houses and when you brought me inside I would burst out of the wrapping paper shouting “Merry Catsmas!”. When I got myself mostly wrapped, I told Brother Henry my plan, but I did not get the response from him that I expected.
When I was mostly wrapped, I told Brother Henry my plan. His response was unexpected.
Brother Henry was sitting on one of the Guardian’s laps nearby. I had expected him to get all excited when I told him what I was doing. I thought he would immediately jump down and help put my plan into action. Instead, he started laughing! He said, “Brother Oliver! That will never work! The mail people aren’t going to deliver you to hundreds of different people all over the world! Plus, you know very well that cats, dogs, and other animals should never be given as presents! What kind of message will it send if you arrive at people’s houses wrapped up in a package?”
Brother Henry didn’t think my idea was very good.
Feeling a little deflated I said, “OK Brother Henry, then how do you suggest I wish all Disciples of Otis a Merry Catsmas?”, to which he replied, “Ummm… how about you just say it in the blog?” I admit, if kitties could blush, I would have. But I felt a little annoyed that Brother Henry was right, so I said, “Yeah, OK, that’s all well and good, but what do you suggest I do with this wrapping paper then? Should it just go to waste?” Brother Henry said, “Hmmm… well, no… I think you should ask Thomas what to do with it. I bet he’ll have a suggestion for you.” So I did ask Thomas… and he did have a suggestion.
At Thomas’s suggestion… I am the Wolf Eel…
So, Merry Catsmas from the Wolf Eel, and all of the rest of us here at The Cult of Otis. May your day be filled with love, joy, and lots of kitties.
In Otis’s Name
Brother Oliver

It’s Thomas. As Leader Otis had to leave us this year, the honor of being the Grand Marshal of Box Day has fallen to me. I am excited to take on the responsibility despite my sadness over the circumstances that required it.
I accept the position of Box Day Grand Marshal with excitement and a bit of sadness.
