Kaido is an orange-black-white calico cat, formerly 'sona of a good friend c:\n....I'd show you but I kiiiinda cannot find any pics of him 8D;","content":"The winter was cold and snow was in the air,  \nBut it was Christmas, so love was everywhere!  \n´Tis the tale of Kaido, a little cat boy  \nWho was filled with all but joy!  \n  \nHe had a family, loving and warm,  \nWasn´t missing leg or arm  \nHe had a meal, ´twas warm and nice,  \nAnd tasty too, had lots of spice!  \n  \nHe also had real loads of toy  \nAll were made to bring him joy!  \nBut he felt uncomfy in his pelt  \nFor joy was just the least he felt!  \n  \nSee, Kaido was a loving cat  \nWho always shared whatever he had,  \nHis sadness came because he knew  \nOf the many poor people outside, who  \n  \nDidn´t have it nice as he did.  \nAnd found that for Christmas it didn´t fit  \nThat people weren´t as happy as him  \nSo Kaido said, decided and grim:  \n  \n\"I´ll just send a letter to Santa the Clause!  \nYes, I´ll send it, right from my house!  \nThey shall be happy, a gift for each one,  \nIn order to do this, the list must be long!\"  \n  \nSo he went to the little town´s store  \nFor extravagantly long papers and more!  \nHe bought a sheet paper, in XXL  \nAnd an extra long pen for writing as well  \n  \nThen started to write a really long list  \nNot one of the people outside should be missed!  \nHe checked every single phone book ever  \nAnd it seemed like he´d finish his tasking never.\n\n\u0026nbsp;But after he wrote for all of the night,  \nHe finished the list and rolled it tight  \nAnd wrapped it up in colorful paper,  \nAnd finished with tacks from a colorful stapler!  \n  \nLocked up tight and protected from rain,  \nHe sent it with the Choo-Choo-Train!  \nThe Choo-Choo-Train was quick and soon  \nThe letter got to Santa at noon.  \n  \nWhen Santa read the long, long list  \nHe noticed the one that Kaido had missed:  \nWhen writing for all the people in need,  \nKaido forgot himself indeed!  \n  \nWhen Santa saw this, he laughed out and said:  \n\"This little boy is loving I´d bet!  \nThis is a thing he should not regret,  \nThe biggest of presents this one should get!\"  \n  \nIt was so then that on Christmas´s eve  \nThat Santa came down, you would not believe!  \nHe visited Kaido, right at his house,  \nAnd instead of gifting and leave like a mouse  \n  \nSanta kneeled down to not speak from above  \nAnd said: \"You are Kaido, the boy full of love!  \nYou sent me a list, full of them names,  \nWritten for everyone, even for James!  \n  \nYou didn't add your name and a wish,  \nSo I decided, along with some fish,  \nTo repay you for your loving deed,  \nSo tell me boy, what is it you need?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Kaido was thinking, it hurted his head!  \nBut there was nothing he wanted so bad,  \nAll he wished for was everyone to be  \nHappy and frolic at all times in glee!  \n  \nSo he replied:  \n  \n\"Santa, all I wish I have got!  \nPlease, bring gifts to those who have not!\"  \nSanta smiled: \"That´s a good choice\",  \nAnd climbed up the chimney, making no noise  \n  \nWhen Kaido ran outside to wave him goodbyes,  \nHe saw and did not trust his eyes:  \nOutside there were the people in need,  \nAll of whom had their gifts just recieved!  \n  \nAnd Santa was sitting high up in his sleigh,  \nLaughing cheerfully since Kai saved their day!  \nHe rode it all across the night sky,  \nAnd on the streets, the neighbours peeked shy  \n  \nThen came out to celebrate,  \nThe party was big, I tell you that mate!  \nAnd they were more than full of joy,  \nBecause of Kaido, the loving cat boy.  \n  \n\n"}
