    About this ebook

    Can one cat save a widow’s Christmas?

    Myra the cat doesn’t care what time of year it is—as long as there’s wet food in her bowl, she’s happy. But her widowed mistress is struggling to get through her first Christmas alone. 


    Good thing Myra’s got a plan—but for it to work, she’ll need to ask her arch-enemy for help! 


    Can Myra overcome her selfishness and bring her owner a Christmas that’s merry and bright?

    The Purrfect Christmas is a family-friendly short story full of humor, heart, and a lot of fur! Read one of the twelve chapters each night before Christmas (and the epilogue on Boxing Day) for a fun new family tradition!

      Myra the cat was batting at the shiny tinsel hanging from the inside-tree when Joe and her mistress walked past. Her mistress opened the front door. Myra scampered towards the door. If that dog’s out there again, I’ll scratch his nose off!

      No, said her mistress, shutting the door in Myra’s face. The widow stooped down and caught the cat. Myra was lifted off the floor. She allowed it. The yellow dog would be easier to spot from up here.

      I’m sorry I can’t stay for Christmas, Grandma, said Joe. He gave Myra a slow ear rub with one hand. He’d arrived a couple days ago, ruining their routine. But he smelled a little bit like Clarence, Myra’s favorite human, so she supposed she could forgive him.

      Wish I didn’t have to fly back for finals, said Joe.

      The widow smiled. Oh, that’s fine, honey, school’s important, you know! Grandma’s glad you came down to visit and put her decorations up. You’re a good boy.

      He leaned down to hug her, tears in his eyes. His broad arms swallowed up the old woman and cat both.
