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!

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

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.

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

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

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...

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

Those wonderful ears! I'd forgive her.

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.

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.

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

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.

Ophie is gorgeous.

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

Naughty obviously!

OMG Spock is a brilliant name for a kitten
