Cat climbing into Christmas Tree?

[BroganMc]

Mine never really tried to climb the tree too much, she would get up on packages and look in the tree... she also liked to swat at, and knock off low hanging ornaments.

However, my village looked like it had been hit by some kind of disaster. She batted around the people, ran off with the trees and knocked over all the little accessories. I learned to just use the houses and leave it at that.

Fortunately our train garden is in the patio room, which means we can close it off entirely when not in use and keep everyone out.

Our cats did mostly left our tree alone during our week in Disney. They like sleeping under it and near it. But we have had trouble since we came home. They like playing catch-n-chase after dinner. Tonight the smaller of the two was sleeping under the tree when her big sister decided to pounce. A few ornaments hit the floor. A candy cane was broken (eating it now) and we lost one glass ball. I know. Told my dad not to hang it on the side of the tree not covered by rug but hard wood.

Hope it lasts another week or two. We're still trying to have a post-Christmas gathering for the extended family.

We always leave our decorations up in January. Makes the winter prettier.

The train garden is fine. No kitties have been out there for 2 weeks.

Those are both too funny! I was wondering what there was still to post about on this thread.

I also didn't know other people's cats talked back to them like mine talks to me. Very cute!

This is our tree last year, with one of our 2 kittens at the time. I didn't a picture of the other one. This one loved to climb in there which is funny because she is the less adventurous of the two. This year she has been much better about staying out. The squirt bottle of water has helped!

I love, love those pics! A squirt of water doesn't help with ours. They are amazed by water and I swear the only cats who like to get a bath. They crawl into the shower after I get out so it will drip on them but our lab hates water! Go figure. They also rule over the 70 lb. lab.

The Bachelor and his Cat


A bachelor who lived at home with his mother and pet cat went on a trip to Europe. Before he left he told his best friend to inform him of any emergencies.

A few days after his departure, his cat climbed up on the roof, fell off and was killed. His friend immediately wired him with the message: "Your cat died!"

In a few hours he was back home, having cut short his trip in grief and anger at his friend, whom he told "Why didn't you break the news to me gradually? You know how close I was to my cat! You could have sent a message 'Your cat climbed up on the roof today', and the next day you could've written, 'Your cat fell off the roof' and let me down slowly that he died."

After a quick memorial service, the bachelor left again to continue his trip. A few days later he returned to his hotel and there was a message waiting for him from his friend. It read, "Your mother climbed up on the roof today."

There’s nothing sadder in the world
than to awake Christmas morning
and not be a child.
