Eating the lights

My tree has been up five minutes. Daphne has crunched at least three lights. They cant be moved. I dont think shes eating them and they arent glass. Is there anything i can do?

"Daphne"

I think it’s a being an animal person thing.

You just love them so much and they return it.

Aw Daphne. Ours was a nightmare with them last year but has ignored them this year. The baubles get an occasional swipe though!
I managed to hoover our tree lights up.....

One of mine likes to chew the wire. Christmas tree goes up later today, wonder how long it will stay up

Also lovely. I'm trying to remember the names of her two biological sisters but can't!

Petal was one I think.I regret changing it tbh. She’s still a shy girl very much does her own thing!

I remember there was a tabby who was bolder than Dolly and the other. She could have grown up to look like Daphne!
I don't remember all the cats but it's lovely to see her on here. Someone I talk to at the gym adopted a kitten from there too. I have way too many cat photos on my phone and have only recently realised labelling the name is sensible.

They really are good pals. Not as close that they still sleep together but they definitely like to be in the same room. I think the other one was Blossom. Lovely names whoever named them.

Ah yes possibly. Obviously ones given up have names They often have names when they arrive from the branches or other centres and charities. The staff do sometimes name them we had a Stranger Things litter this year! I like how a lot of the beaten up FIV boys end up with real bloke names like Kevin and Dave.
