I'll never forget the one year when everyone was at the house for Christmas and Socks had eaten some of that tinsel. We were blessed with not only tinsel-tootsie-rolls in the sand box, but also tinsel butt!! Socks must have felt festive with the strand of tinsel hanging out of his rear-end...and parading around the house!
LOL!!!!! Back in the "stone age", when I was a kid, the icicles were actually made of LEAD, which would have been deadly for pets. Nowadays they're plastic, so they just add some "roughage" to the cat's diet.
He leaned his hind legs against the tree and with the front paws grabbed it and stated shaking it very firmly. He shook it with such an anger and it was so funny !!! He shook it until there was nothing left on it, just bold branches.
This is cracking me up! I guess he got tired of picking the ornaments off one at a time.
We had to throw it away the same day, it was December 25. Normally people here keep the Xmas tree very long, about 3-4 weeks. We had it for one day only.
This is fun to hear about Christmas in other countries - in the US, most people put their trees up WAY before Xmas, sometimes as early as the end of November. By the time Christmas comes, a real tree is looking mighty limp and you're ready to chuck it out on the 26th!
