The Christmas incident
As many of you know, our family used to live and work in Congo and we spent Christmas of 2009 in the capital city, Brazzaville.
On Christmas Eve our young black and white pet cat, Oreo, nearly caused an international incident. Shortly afterwards I wrote a short story about the incident and I gave it to our younger daughter for her birthday. The story is a true one, though a few of the details have been changed.
For lovers of cats and cosy Christmas stories. Happy Christmas and happy reading.
