Dear Cat Lover,

MEOWY CATMAS!

Marc, Tiziano and I are all enjoying some nice leisurely holiday downtime at Marc's mom's home. It's a bit small for running around. So Tiziano and I are holed up in one small room most of the day. But the others who live here are very interesting.

Mama is a pretty hot little kitty who is not very friendly. But Aunt Leah, a 17-year old Pekingnese, she's a sweetheart. She doesn't bother me at all!

It's actually kinda weird. I've never met a "dog" before. So this was quite a scary adventure at first. Fortunately, these dogs seem pretty harmless.

All in all, Catmas is here. And I can't wait to open up this present Marc put up on a shelf. The present came by me and I smelled catnip! Mreow!

"I picked up your CD @ Things Celtic last weekend & I absolutely LOVE it!! I found myself humming "A Cat Named Rover" at work--what a fun song! One of my favorites is "Catnipping Green". It brought a tear (ok, several tears) to my eye to picture the elderly cat going off on his final voyage. Luckily, my kitties are used to me crying over a good song!"

CAT COMPANION CD
It's been a while since I've written. So a quick update. In October, I finally pushed Marc to record Irish Drinking Songs, A Cat Lover's Companion. This album features the original versions of the traditional Irish songs found on Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers.

Recording was going great when he headed back out on tour, and it all came to a stand-still. Then he got back in town and Ari Koinuma, our producer, had to pause recording the album as his wife was having a baby. Marc just got word he was born four days ago.

Now Marc is learning new songs for the next Cat Lovers CD. We don't yet know when that will be released, but keep ear perked.

SILENT NIGHT, KITTY NIGHT
Last Catmas, Marc recorded this short video of Tiziano falling asleep. He seems to like it. But it's only Tiziano. I don't know. You tell me.

But from all of us Gunns, we wish you a Meowy Catmas and Happy Mew Year!

To talk is human. To purr is divine. Mreow!
-Torre Gunn, manager, lead meower of The Dubliners' Tabby Cats

TnT are two tabby cat brothers who own a simple-minded human named Marc Gunn, who plays music, writes poetry, and isn't too shabby a photographer. The main reason they bother to keep him around is because he entertains them now and then and isn't too hard to take care of. They all perform together with The Dubliners' Tabby Cats.
