The most frustrating time of the year…

[asphaltcowgrrl]

…when you have cats.

So, yesterday, Taylor decided it was time to finally put up the Christmas tree, despite us not having a couch or chairs in the living room. Hahaha. The cats were at least kind enough to wait until she went to work before attacking the poor thing. Oddly enough, Nayla was the first to get under it and start batting at the ornaments. I had my money on Sunny.

The first Christmas we had Sunny, she climbed INTO the tree and just lounged. (December 2018)



This year, I think she’s plotting the demise or our poor tree. And no, you’re not imagining things. I have no carpet right now.



Trying to look innocent. Emphasis on the ‘trying’.



And because she’s just too cute, here’s Violet getting comfy in Taylor’s chair. (Click image for video.)



Now I’m realizing that I haven’t taken a picture of the Christmas train we got for the cats at Target. Taylor was torn between a toy shop and a train, so she and Maddie went with the train. I’ll try and remember to do that tonight. It’s cute and currently Sunny’s favorite place.

Anyway… now that you’re tired of me and my cats, I’ll go back to work.

Funny — I've only ever had one cat that got IN the tree, and that's Miss Sunny. Even with as mischievous and bratty as Violet was as a kitten, she only attacked the ornaments on low-hanging branches.

LOL — cats and boxes, nothing more needs to be said.

LOL I've had... 3 in the tree. One knocked the tree OVER on my friends and I while we were sleeping on the living room floor. Murphy used to knock the table top tree off and drag it around the room.

The funny part? He was obsessed with sitting ON TOP of the box.

Buddy pulled our tree over several years ago, without actually getting in it. He sat on the couch and yanked it. LOL That's too funny that your cat knocked it over onto someone though.

Cats are weird.

LOL that's funny. Hades likes to stick a claw into the ornaments then pull them back and let them go.

They really are. Also in the words of Jake Jensen, "Cats. Not to be trusted, man."

My cat, Budd, liked to play with the doorstops in the bathrooms in a similar fashion. He liked the noise they made, I guess.

Hah, truth.

LOL probably. Hades was very disappointed when the tree got packed away.

Yes.
