My cat's mascot

I don't follow many sports. I'm boring you see. Samantha, my cat, does apparently. In these Pennsylvania winters of snow and ice, I may have watched hockey, once or twice. I had a penguin ornament on my Christmas tree, which suddenly vanished mysteriously.. It was as cute as it could be, with a little Santa hat and scarf to greet me. Some time ago it disappeared. I may have discarded it I feared. Today it suddenly reappeared. Now I know what a smart cat I've got, as Samantha has adopted it as her cat mascot. Perhaps she's keeping it for good luck? Now I have to go out and buy a cat puck..
