Watchcat Headquarters approves of gravitas, within reason.  Thus, some watchcats might choose to wear an Elizabethan ruff while on duty, as Watchcat Lily did yesterday:

Missing the Crayola years

Yesterday, during my cat's visit to the vet, was one of the rare times I'd been assigned to the waiting room with a kid-sized table, chairs, and magazines.  At age 49, I know I'd rather be an adult than a kid.  However, after looking at the metal dalmatian Crayon case in that room, I started to miss the days when I had no bigger concern than pondering the difference between periwinkle and cornflower shades of blue.

It might seem like an unusual assignment for a ceramic turkey who sits on a pumpkin, but Watchcat and Watchturkey Headquarters have assured me that ceramic turkeys are good substitutes and supplements for watchcats.  Witch cat watchcats train watchturkeys by asking them, at first, to guard ears of corn.  Then, as they prove their mettle, watchturkeys are permitted to guard people and animals:

Sometimes, a suspicious situation calls for three sets of eyes, looking in the same direction.  Hence, three witch cat watchcats kept tabs on their assigned sector in 2014:

Reviewers, if you're going to recommend a book, movie, or musical artist to me, please grant me one request.  Please don't say, "Do yourself a favor," in your review.  Just tell me what you're recommending and justify your case.  Allow me to decide what constitutes a favor.

Thank you.
