"Advent calendars for cats? Bloody hell, Ray!"

"All the rage," Doyle assured him cheerfully. "Just a quid down the market."

"Not to mention that Advent's well past." Bodie prised open the first little door. "It's all dried up." He offered the wizened treat to Castor, who sniffed and backed away.

"Try the 24th," Doyle suggested.

Pollux tasted and retched.

"And your eagle eye never noticed it's three years old. Demand your money back!"

"Want to try for a bit of advent tonight?"

"Eh?"

"Derived from 'adventus', means 'coming'."

"Show-off! All right, you're on. Which door do you want opened first?"

Lovely to see Castor and Pollux again! (and their humans, of course *vbg*). Nothing like the lads growing a little older disgracefully :-)

I was going to get my cat one of those! Not an old one, though I suspect C&P would have reacted similarly no matter how fresh it was. Cute idea and lovely execution! Thank you.
