Today I got a very pretty Christmas card with sparkly snowflakes from derryderrydown. Unfortunately I suck with sending cards myself, but while doodling to pass time on public transport, I came up with this version of Santa visiting derryderrydown's place (inspired mostly by her LJ posts about her cat's hunting prowess), and thought I could at least post it to reciprocate, if I'm not sending cards.

HEEEEEE!! Oh, dude, I really do just send out cards because I like to, there's no expectation of reciprocation.

But this! This is totally perfect! Oh, Chester, you are internationally renowned as a killer of furry things and Santas.

Seriously, every post of yours in which you mention Chester he seems to have eaten some progressively larger thing.

Ooh, that's wonderful.

I'm glad you like it! *beams*

Ratsanta's first day on the job? Or he'd look much less happily naive there *ggg* and it wouldn't have been his last one either.

[ratcreature]

Yeah, obviously still a newbie, otherwise there would have been a helper-elf going down first...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

In the shape of a mouse, I presume.

[ratcreature]

No, I suspect it would have been a regular helper-elf. Considering the size of some of the animals Derry's cat likes to hunt a mouse might not assure that the cat isn't hungry anymore. *grin* (Obviously experienced helper-elves in turn probably have a bag of cat and dog treats handy...)

I know. *headdesk* He's single-handedly destroying the local wildlife.

And, apparently, he's taken to sitting on top of next door's chickenrun with a thoughtful look on his face.

[ratcreature]

IIRC he hunted some fox down, no? So obviously *someone* has to fill that niche!
