Helping Mommy Decorate

Apropos of pagan ritual, has it also been your experience that dogs tend
to dance in the circle, while cats tend to get on the altar?

For several years, I've belonged to a small, cat-worshipping circle
called the "Bastettes". Live cats are *always* welcome on our altars!

My permanent altar at home is used as a jumping-off place for cats who
want to get up onto the top of the bookcase next to it. And Licorice
likes to check out the small items on the altar and occasionally relocate
an item or two to other places in the apartment (or possibly to a private
stash someplace, until he's ready to deliver it back to me later).

When we were introducing our new Lady Jane Grey, who had been confined
to one of the spare bedrooms for a week, to our cat of some years,
Misty, and the rest of the house, it took five minutes to realize that
we'd never have a decorated Christmas tree again.

The first thing she did was head straight for the tree, the second was
to start eating a piece of tinsel, and the third was to hide under the
couch. By the time I got her out, I had to retrieve twelve inches of
a tinsel strand from the mouth, throat, and intestines of an
uncooperative cat. It's a good thing we had bought the eighteen inch
size tinsel.

Now our Yule tree goes on the porch.

Oh. My. Word. Christmas tree!!!! I forgot - it's been 5 years since we
had a kitten in the house (and a kitten that wasn't *nearly* as destructive
as Sammy).

Sigh. I love decorating my Christmas tree. Sigh. Well I guess you sadists
are eagerly awaiting "Decorating the Tree with Mommy", aren't you, well,
aren't you??!!! ;

Hugs,

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
