The house is decorated (as much as we do) and everything is ready. The cats did their “test” thing to make sure everything was good to go.
Hazel testing out the tree skirt. She rated it comfy.
Then she tested the tree bag. Interesting but not as comfy.
Morgan flew around sitting here or sitting there. Eventually she was exhausted and settled here.
Fully sacked, she needed her beauty sleep.

It’s so good Staff has supervision. We had a cat once that thought the tree was like a periscope on a submarine – she was constantly on lookout duty somewhere up there. Fortunately she was small and the large RC at the time cat was cranky and loud enough and willing to raise The Paw until she understood (that she needed to avoid the older cat under the tree until he was a lot slower)

Morgan is the one who gets into trouble. Mollie has scolded and swatted but now Morgan is twice as big as the alpha. We’ll see what 2017 brings in the cat community here.

Lovely photos. Freddie and Frankie (especially) have been very “helpful” with the decorations and wrapping presents. My older cat Pharoah just says, “Wait, this isn’t food… I’ll be back when it’s dinner.”

We made it to New Hampshire ahead of the storm. THere’s an empty Christmas tree stand in the corner.

I nice snowy vacation! We had an inch of snow and now it’s raining. We had a high in the teens yesterday and are expecting around 59 degrees tomorrow. Is this wonky weather or what? Have a great time chopping that tree down! (Hope Andy has warm clothes….)

Andy is liberally supplied with long underwear! Yes, the snow may melt in the rain tomorrow. Such a bummer. But for now, it’s about 6 inches and still coming down.

So cute. Have you got any advice on how to stop cats from climbing (and tipping over) Christmas trees?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Ummmm…..no. It’s what they are supposed to do. My cats have never done that but I have an artificial tree so it’s not good for climbing.

Where’s Mollie? Is she not in the Christmas spirit yet?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Mollie is more of an upstairs cat. When she comes downstairs, she sits on an audio speaker and looks out the window. She hasn’t been fascinated with Christmas for a while. Now a nice fire is another thing. They all love to lie in front of the fireplace when it’s on.

Morgan looks like she did a face-plant! She looks sweet… 🙂 Hazel just looks like she could maybe get into some mischief! Z loved to sit under the tree but she liked to chew on the lights… yikes.

I took several pictures of Morgan and she never opened her eye. Totally zonked. I used to have a cat that chewed on electrical cords. One spring I took off the electric blanket (with the cords running under the bed) and there were several bare spots, small but bare. I never figured out how she didn’t kill herself or at least get a substantial shock. No more electrical wires under things when I had her. Morgan likes to chew paper on the desk. If there isn’t any (preferably important papers) she’ll chew on the charging cords. She’s mostly grown out of that stage but still loves the paper (only important papers).
