Diana, a little black cat, is bored by the long, cold days.
Cyrus, her older and wiser friend, tries to keep her out of trouble with regular lectures, but temptations are everywhere.
From sliding on the kitchen towel to "capturing" the sewing room tape measure, Diana is on the prowl for fun, when what should she discover but the most amazing tree she has ever seen - with "pretty bobbles and balls just begging to be knocked off and batted around the room."
When their mischief is discovered, the two housecats have a night out in the snow to look forward to. But it is, after all, the Christmas season, with charity even for two ornery cats.

The illustrations and story line of J. B. Stockings' book will resonate with and amuse all readers who admire or have ever lived with a cat. Stockings affectionately recreates situations cat lovers will recognize: the feline "repurposing" of a kitchen towel, the hot-one-minute-forgotten-the-next attitude toward an appropriated item, the strong pull of both sleep and play, and, of course, the mandatory exploration of new, tinsel-trimmed items in the living room. And like all children's books worth reading, Stockings' is as much about human nature as it is about feline nature. What child hasn't plotted to act under the radar of grown-ups--much as the two cats in the book discuss ways to break the rules of their "people" without drawing their attention? A young reader will learn from Stockings' tale that breaking rules may lead to unpleasant consequences, but that, in the end, love comes even to the guiltiest of rule-breakers.
