Another seasonal favourite post to re-share this holiday season! I think this is also Lucas’s favourite blog post that I have ever written. He often asks me to show him “the story with Willie and the red ball.”
There I was, minding my own business, playing with the Charlie Brown Christmas tree and taking pictures of the reflections in the shiny red ball …
… when all of a sudden — dun dun DUN — I saw him: the Creeping Mischief Monster!
And even more terrifyingly, at that exact moment, he noticed it. The shiny red ball!!
After that, you knew this was inevitable.
This is why we can’t have nice things.

Since I published this post in 2011, the photo of mischevious Willie and that tempting red ornament has become one of my best-selling photos on Getty Images. It has appeared on the web
…on the pages of Good Housekeeping magazine…
…and most recently just last month on the pages of USA Today.
Silly old cat!
AWESOME photo!!!!
