Tinsel, Glitter and Baubles - the Excellent Cats prepare to knock Everything off your Christmas Tree

[TheShellBeach]

As we approach the festive season, they're already finessing their plans and recalling last year's successes............

What an adorable tree decoration you have Estelle!

Oh Allergic, what fun you are going to have over the next few days 😬

@Estelle74uk You should be honoured that your gorgeous mini panther has chosen to decorate your tree for you.

@JustTwoLostSouls Cooper is both beautiful and obviously entirely innocent, the tinsel must have attacked him!

Good luck with finding mousie, Allergic.
I am very hopeful that by the morning DD will have had her baby and I can return to my own babies.
Matt hissed at DGD and made her cry and run towards me as if there was a lion after her. 😂

Not sure if Elton will bear being parted from the world's largest cardboard box in order to put the tree up! It's going to get pretty crowded in here 😕

Ah Puppy, Elton got his Christmas pressie early. I guess it stays out for December now 😁😆

Looking at Elton in his box reminds me that DD2's bread maker is still in our hall in the way and I could take it out of the box and drive it round to DS2's house.

I would then have a splendid Christmas present for the cats, although I doubt if they'd share it.

Help, my cat has run out of batteries. Genuinely he is going to sleep like this 😄

Love it 😻

For all the cardboard box fans ...

Dear cats, we have news. We're reducing the Amazon packaging we use for products that can be delivered safely without it. Sorry cats! 😾📦 | By Amazon.co.uk | Facebook

Shocking.

I don't think the Swansea and Bristol Amazon warehouses got that notice about boxes. Most of my stuff still comes in a box, much to the cats' approval.

Franken-fang-stein doesn't care about boxes, he likes his blanket.

Forgot the photo.

Is that your ex-blanket? He does seem to rather like it 😍

He's very generous,he lets me share it on the condition that I give him as much affection as he demands.

Someone has taken Mr SB's seat.

........ and he's fallen asleep.

Given the fact that we are going to struggle to get any other Christmas decorations squeezed into our living room with the giant box in situ we have decided to just decorate the box. Lucky Elton's going to get his own grotto!

Elton is very lucky!

A certain someone has commandeered my other ex blanket. He says that he knows you will all approve as he deserves all the good things in life.

Benny-boo has been snuggly tonight 🧡

Another excellent thread title, Shell. I am loving the cat Christmas photos, especially my favourite one of Gizmo in a Christmas jumper which never fails to make me laugh. It was lovely to see Paws too among the newer Excellent Cats.

I am so impressed at Tobias' progress, Allergic.

Huge good wishes for your daughter, Paper (and to you, Matt and Socks too).

Finlay has had a very busy day sleeping! He checked out our local Spar tonight and the woodland next to the library’s and then helped me with my latest lego project

Is the note in case you forget what you're drinking? 😉

@RumNotRun
The note is my lucky dip advent calendar!
I’m on a FODMAP elimination diet at moment to help my IBD so can’t have chocolate DS bought me a Lego calendar and 25 mini bottles of gin, vodka etc to accompany it 😉
