A Real Tree?

[ceebeegee]

Maybe I'll get a real tree this year. My new apartment is big enough. Tatia's never experienced the special joy of knocking over a full-size tree--that should be part of every cat's Christmas. I'd have to buy or make some more ornaments though.

You'll have a wide selection of trees to choose from where you're spending Thanksgiving, if you have means to get one home.

When I was about 12, my mother and I had two kittens that we acquired just before Christmas. We set up a real tree, a good solid 8-footer because we had high ceilings and I insisted on the biggest tree on the lot. One day, I came home from school and heard two distinct, plaintive little voices coming from a rather strange location. Further inspection revealed two little sets of eyes peering at me from about two feet over my head level -- from inside the tree. They had climbed the trunk, nearly to the top, and couldn't get back down.

Fortunately, they were still too small to knock the tree over. It was simply too heavy.

My cat did the same thing, the first year we had a real tree, except that he got to the top, and the tree fell over. We got rid of a few of our glass ornaments after that.
