I like that idea – extra Aces for putting up with elf. I don’t know what that says about Choppy, though, as she had to deal with him, too, but doesn’t seem to have the same luck.
Schooner, if you are going to cheat, you need to make it believable. Quick, save one of those aces for later! I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like Choppy may have been trying to cheat too – isn’t that 4 Kings in her hand? You two need to learn to play fair. 😉
On the plus side, Choppy is good-natured enough that she probably won’t even care that Schooner is trying to cheat her (unless there is bacon at stake, in which case, Schooner needs to watch out with his cheating ways).
Oh, Schooner… someone dealt you a funky hand. QUICKLY… distract Choppy so we can remedy this (oh, and bid high because you’ll still win).

Choppy will probably not even realize Schooner is trying to cheat her.

I think Schooner is just a Super Smart Cat! Maybe Santa gave him some ‘A’s’ in his stocking, for putting up with Elfie!

Cats seem to me like they would be great poker players, and this is one reason. Now, dogs? Their tails would give away their good hands every time.

Sounds like a little bit of the Elf has worn off onto Schooner. 😉

This is why you don’t invite elves into your house. Next thing you know, we’ll have girl kitties outside, doing who knows what.

Personally I think it’s a fair strategy. We are talking about a cat after all. 😇 And everyone knows cats are quite crafty.

And better at poker than dogs, whose tails give them away every time.

When it comes to the other four-legged friend in the house, playing fair is something I’m not sure we are ever going to see.

Perhaps Schooner spent a little too much time with the Elf this past Christmas.
