Too funny! I'm sorry to disappoint you, as my terribly bad kitty has yet to even TRY to climb the tree! I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed that Pouncer hasn't done it - Allen's too fat to try! He's not living up to the kitty legacy... all cats must do this! It's written in the kitty rule book (along with 'kitty must get into all the wrapping paper and ribbons.')
