LOL Great story. I've forwarded it to a cat loving friend.

That's adorable.

Last Xmas as I was staggering back from doing my Xmas shopping and had
had all the "goodwill to all men" I could stomach I saw a Santa toy for
Sarrasine which I gleefully threw at her saying "Kill Santa!"

Well she's almost done it....You have to admire this £1.00 toy which
has been mauled on a daily basis, it's been everywhere except the water
bowl, she's thrown it and had it thrown for her, she's pounced on it,
hid it in the blankie (Yes she's finally decided it's her blankie and
will occasionally sit on it)you name it she's done it but the other day
I did notice the head is starting to come off so I got a brown hippo
(50p that stall does bargain cat toys!)for her. I didn't plan on giving
it to her until Santa was decapitated but as she is a criminal genius
of course she found it and promptly started playing with it. I said to
her "Forgotten your old Santa already?" so she gave me a funny look and
put Santa on her blankie and wrapped him up....

While she was doing this Redunzel spotted the hippo and picked it
up....

I almost had to seperate them during the resulting fight...

This was Saturday and the Hippo war continues....Redunzel keeps trying
to steal the hippo and Sarrasine keeps defending "her" hippo. Redunzel
gets hippo and hides it, Sarrasine finds it. Redunzel touches hippo and
Sarrasine jumps Redunzel....

But the odd thing is Sarrasine seems to like being at war with her
sister, she keeps doing things like leaving the hippo a long way from
her blankie and playing with Santa by the blankie thus presenting  a
tempting opportunity for Redunzel to steal Hippo especially as
Sarrasine is apparently and obviously looking the other way......of
course as soon as Redunzel falls for the set-up, Sarrasine gets to
chase her...

At the moment, they're spending about two hours a day in the hippo war
which then leaves them so knackered that they sleep for ages!

aw, how about getting Redunzel (I love that name) her own hippo? Or maybe
another sutffed toy so they can share both? Poor Santa, hehehe.

"Lesley" <LMadigan@hhnt.nhs.uk> had some very interesting things to
say about The hippo war:

You remind me of one X-Files Christmas episode (figures that their
idea of a Christmas episode involves a haunted house ;-) ). Scully had
just finished shopping and says to Mulder, "If I'd heard 'Silent
Night' one more time, I was going to start taking hostages."

This is hilarious! I've sent the story to some of my other cat-meowmy
friends, who loved it!

Well I've had a week off work and can now update all on the state of
the hippo war....

Sarrasine appears to have gone back to her old Santa maybe she wants to
get the head off!!!!! Redunzel is ignoring hippo now that there is no
pleasure in teasing Sarrasine with it.

So hippo is currently sitting in the hallway looking rather forlorn....

The new craze with the two lunatics is a new bout of "Let's annoy him
by going near that speaker and threatening to claw the cover off"
