It's not the depth of the rabbit hole that bugs me...

Several days delay has only just got me back on the Grail, and even now it's too late tonight to start looking at your newslist - I'll save it to savour tomorrow!
Many thanks for all your hard work during the year, and I certainly look forward to seeing you return early in 2012. In the meantime - have a wonderful holiday.
With every good wish, Kathrinn

Hi Rick! Wow! Got there in the end, but that was a goodly amount of reading. Many thanks for all your hard work.
All good wishes for the Festive Season - I hope you've bought Neva a nice gift (like some salmon, or a catnip-filled-mouse toy)!
Regards, Kathrinn

Thanks Kathrinn, glad you enjoyed the news.
I haven't actually got Neva anything - the catnip's for me. She's the type of cat who's happy with an old shoelace to play with, nothing fancy!

Tie a crumpled ball of paper on the end of a string and hang it in a doorway - one of my cats played with one of those for hours!! My other cat preferred a cord curtain tie-back which she pretended was a snake and would shake sh*t out of for hours!
Have a happy time anyway. Regards, Kathrinn
