... Oh, we'd just *love* to hear about that one. Do you have enough nerve? Just imagine -- trying to go to sleep while listening for that big CRASH in the dark Heh heh heh, O J Yep, trying to decorate a tree with Sammy "helping" will probably be very interesting - I guess I should go and invest in lots of plastic ornaments. Nope about the crashing tree. I had a solution to that last year (Jessie may not be as destructive as a kitten, but she dearly loves to climb trees). I got a 3'x3'x3' cardboard filled with books that still weren't unpacked from our move to the new house. I taped this securely shut with duct tape. [A box of books is about the heaviest thing I know of!!] Then I used almost a whole roll of duct tape to tape the metal tree stand (the kind with the screws that screw into the bottom of the tree trunk - screwed down *really* tightly) to the top of the box. Then I just draped a very large Christmas tree "skirt" around the whole thing. You couldn't push that thing over with a forklift!!! Another benefit was that there was *plenty* of room "under" the tree for lots and lots of grandbaby presents!! ; Hugs, CatNipped |

... It would have been one thing if, to borrow Christian symbolism, he were content merely to be the Cat of Bethlehem at the peak. Unfortunately, Yule trees are flexible, increasingly so as the trunk thins. With 16 or so pounds of muscular cat at the top, I had every confidence that the tree would bend with his weight and do one of the following: 1. Fall over. 2. Break 3. Bend, and then become a cat-a-pult. LOL! I think Sammy would love that ride!!! Hugs, CatNipped |
