My poor Tree

[pomtzu]

All of those possible culprits look pretty innocent to me. Maybe it was a big mouse?????

I would say most definitely. A Christmas tree is just one big playground for cats.

Ahahahaaa, loved seeing all the photos! It's almost as if you KNEW you needed to prove what it was like once upon a time. Of course, being a cat owner of many years, that is probably true!

It is a very pretty tree, quite a temptation! And in the law, leaving a temptation unguarded partially absolves the culprits!

But I think it was a mousie, too. He he heee. Said by a similarly experienced cat owner!

That's why I put my tree up in my home office where I can close the door and keep my boys away from it.

2008 was the first year I put a tree up since I got the cats. I initially just put the lights on and let Chessie and Casey in to see how they would react to it. Chessie went up to it and just stared at it in awe. Casey went right up under it and began rubbing against it, causing the tree to sway. So while the tree is up, no cats in my room.

However, Smokey (aka "The Daredevil") thinks he has to be in here and tries to run past me to get in. One time last year, he was successful, and I was able to grab his rear half just as he started up inside the fully decorated tree.

Those faces look so very innocent!!
We think that a big gust of wind blew you tree over, and Your Cats were trying to set things all right.
They deserve some Whiskas Temptations.

I agree

Aw, I used to love when one of my cats would redecorate the tree or rearrange the gifts. This crew - even Blue, who's a real dude - didn't touch it last year. I remember one year, when the manger was prominently displayed under the tree - Merlin thought the angel looked better on her head! I miss those days. So far, I don't have the tree up; I live alone, no one comes, and the cats aren't interested, so why bother?

Hi kitties,
Groucho is in Cat Court today but I called him and left a voice mail about your unfair predicament. He's going to be outraged as he always is whenever a kitty is falsely accused. You'll be hearing from him tonight!
