That poem is very special Pam !!! It comes right out a cat's heart . It is funny , but also touching ... . Thanks !

About a tree ... . With Sydney , who died this summer , there was no problem at all . He never touched the tree nor the ornaments . The only "bad" thing he did , was that he loved to mess up the tree-skirt (a quilt I got as a present from our American friends , Mr. & Mrs. Kruse) .
