How's the xmas tree doing?

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

I KNEW it was going to be a challenge... but in 24 hours Obie and Ophie (now 6.5 months old and Obie is going to be a BIG Maine Coon, have...

Knocked every single bauble off
Pushed the tree over
Chewed through the lights, killing them!

Just as well I love them!

OMG Spock is a brilliant name for a kitten

[ghostyslovesheep]

Naughty obviously!

[ghostyslovesheep]

naught Spock - in his defence he is only 16 weeks old

[chockbic]

Ophie is gorgeous.

[catsofa]

You have to be able to violently kill it, that's the fun part! It's boring if it's already dead. That only leaves eating it, sicking it up and eating it again.

[Fluffycloudland77]

It's not a challenge if its lying on the floor though. It has to be a prize worth having.

[cozietoesie]

And the galling thing is that if you took the angel down and laid it on the floor as a plaything, you'd likely just get the fisheye.

[Varya]

Crashed it down 3 times so far, but it's artificial and pre-decorated (yuck) so only the angel a-top gets to tumble and treated with feline frenzy.

[cozietoesie]

Those wonderful ears! I'd forgive her.

[RubbishMantra]

Aww, I too would forgive her anything. That little face! Those massive ears!

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

Tonight it was Ophie's turn.. she has discovered she can nibble open the presents, and has had another chomp at the lights!
But she is so booooful I forgive her...

[chockbic]

We haven't even put one up with slasher around.

[LoopyLa]

These stories have made me cry with laughter!

Loopycat bats the lower baubles, pulls at a bit of tinsel & chews the sticky label on the lights cable - but that's it so far

[Fuzzymum1]

DOuglas has batted at the lowest baubles once or twice but thankfully he hasn't tried climbing it - he's a two year old Maine Coon cross (with more coon than cross!). He mostly left it alone last year too. The rest of the cats have pretty much ignored it. We briefly contemplated a real tree but thought with seven of them it might be too much temptation for them to pee climb up it.

[WestEast]

All baubles have been moved from the bottom third of the tree to the top two thirds. Lights don't work now seeing as she decided to chew straight though them. The majority if the lovely felt snowflakes are in her cat box/scratching post. She likes her big new green toy

[ghostyslovesheep]

taking a daily battering - 3 baubles smashed - also I have stuffed and feathered birds on there ...of I did

(stuffed as in made of material not dead ones!)

I no longer have a skirt around it as it was a magnet for hiding and fighting each other

I find at least one kitten if not both up there once or twice a day

tree it's self is robust and still green but they like to bite chunks off it and chase them round the house

[QueenFuri]

Little miss has pulled it over twice she seems to have lost interest in it, she has now moved on to my Christmas present under the tree I caught her gnawing on the ribbon a few times.

[Fluffycloudland77]

Sparkly poos at chez issey then?.

[isseywithcats]

so far the new foster kittens who are ten weeks old (will get pics in the week and put on here) have managed to knock the tree over copmpletely and i came home today to wreaths of trailing tinsel so they had a good time while i was at work

[RubbishMantra]

Looking at your photo again Medusa, I recognise that, "Hmm, I wonder what interesting things will happen if I prod/poke/nudge this thing?" expression.

Ophie's super tufty ears are a joy.

[LouiseBrooks]

Mine did that the first year or two but then got fed up with it. I also think switching to a real tree helped. I don't know if it's because he didn't like the smell or what, but he gave up after I started getting one.

Medusa your kitty is a stunner!

[HeyheyheyGoodbye]

Shadows we do lower-branch bells too! Although they still climb up to get at the higher ones and then look the other way when I come in the room

Mostly they like to sit under it and watch the lights :)

[MadeinSouthWest]

When my 2 were kittens I came him from work to find the tree by the front door waiting for me. It had been dragged through the lounge and passageway.

[Pipbin]

Mine has killed one bauble to death and chewed most of the lower branches.
She enjoys tinsel.
