The day last week’s post went live, I woke up to this.
Someone, presumably Roxie, managed to knock the whole tree over while leaving the bungee cord securing it to the table intact. It was at this point that my enthusiasm for a tree began to wane. Don’t get me wrong. I love having a tree, I just don’t enjoy it becoming an ongoing hassle.
In a moment of desperation, I did an internet search and placed an order for a new tree. While waiting on the new tree to arrive, Roxie’s depredations continued. By Saturday, there were only three ornaments left on the tree. All but two have been recovered for use again at some point in the future.
The new tree arrived today. Kenn and I had it unboxed and assembled in less than ten minutes.
Bear has climbed the tree a couple of times and sharpened his claws on the base. Nyx lounged under the tree for a few minutes. And Roxie? Well, she has pulled a couple of the “ornaments” off only to pay them no attention when I put them back. So, yeah. The great destructor of trees is completely ignoring the one designed for her. Jerk.
How many Christmas trees do you have? None? One? Multiple?

LOL, wow, Roxie. That is Level 1 Cat Contrariness! There was year when one of my cats was so bad about destroying ornaments that I hung cat toys on the tree instead…and the cat immediately stopped being interested.

LOL. Contrariness, thy name is Cat. Hanging cat toys on the tree is genius! I’m totally stealing that idea for the future. The tree is no longer being ignored. Roxie is rather indifferent, but Bear is losing his mind. Apparently, this is *his* tree.

I wouldn’t have known about them if I hadn’t seen one in a FB friend’s post last year.

Well that works – everyone is happy! I actually have four trees, all tabletop, two green artificial and two ceramic. This year I put up one ceramic, first time for any Christmas decorations since 2008.

They are definitely worth any hassles they may cause.
