Nighttime Garbage Goblins.
What we didn't sell at the yardsale, we tossed out on the curb with a big sign that said "FREE." Anything that wasn't claimed by passerbys would be taken by the trash collectors.
There were a few items out there, one of which was an old dresser we were tossing. There was also a cardboard box filled with bits that didn't make our "Need It" list. Among the contents of that box was a "Starry Starry Cow" from the Cow Parade, a toaster, and Hermy from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys.
These items have been at the curb since Monday morning.
And in the middle of the night, our little home has been visited by Nighttime Garbage Goblins.
They don't cause any trouble or wreak any havoc, but they are having their way with our little Hermy.
He's been taken from his cardboard hold and Tuesday morning we found him perched on the top of the dresser drawer.
We woke Wednesday to find him tucked neatly into the toaster.
The garbage collectors come tomorrow morning and I hope, for Hermy's sake, that they put him out of his misery.

I'd like to add my 2 cents. I don't think white cats are ugly.

Poor Hermy !! I loved him in Rudolph.

My dad has a white persian. Although it is completely cross-eyed, it's such a gorgeous cat.
So yes, I think white cats are cool.
Except when I'm wearing black. Then they shed all over me. I like my cat fur to match my outfits. :)

Ah....a pity the scavengers haven't located you yet. There are people who drive all over our fair city on Sunday night looking for anything that has been put out on the curb.
Perhaps tonight will be your lucky night!

Poor Hermy, "Why don't I fit in...?"
