Cupcake: What is THIS?
Newton: You really want to stay out of the way of that, kid. Just get on the cat tree and let the humans do their thing.
Cupcake: But Mr. Newton, they’re putting a thing in the house that looks like a tree. I’ve seen real trees, and this smells wrong.
Cupcake: It also tastes wrong.
Cupcake: And look at these things! The humans are putting things on the tree, but they keep saying “Not that one, it’s breakable.”
Ashton: Do you think we will get blamed when she knocks it over?
Pierre: Not if we’re sitting over here, we won’t.
Cupcake: This is going to be so much fun!
This is Cupcake’s first holiday season, and her first tree. We have a tradition of a tree going up just after Thanksgiving and being put away the day after Christmas, so with the early Thanksgiving holiday this year, she has a little extra time for kitten mayhem. As with most everything else in the house, the other cats really are giving her a little extra room so when she gets into trouble, there won’t be any doubt whose fault it is.
We will keep you posted whether she manages to topple the tree before the holiday.
MOL! I was never much interested in the tree the first or second years we had it. My human isn’t sure whether she is disappointed or relieved.
there are many reasons there is no tree in this house – kittens are on the top of the list. that said, Chanel says she is more than willing to come visit and see if she can help wreck some havoc.
You’re gonna have so much fun, Cupcake! My tree goes up right around Veterans Day, but Mudpie’s first year here I put it up just after Halloween (HA!) and it sat naked for about 10 days as I waited to see what she would do. She never tried to climb it! This year she’s batting ornaments though 🙂
Kittens, nothing! We don’t have a tree because of FULLY-GROWN cats! We just can’t help it.
Oh I am CERTAIN she will! When I had my Angel Bobo part of the time I was married to my ex-husband who was Catholic and I always put up a tree. Every single day that I would come home from work, that tree would be knocked over. It was actually funny lol
Suggest you keep the breakable decorations off the tree, until you go to work for a full day….. The humans in our house installed a motion camera. It takes pics to capture the guilty ( and innocent 🙂 )
Enjoy your holiday season !
Do us proud, Cupcake, and pull that thing over NOW!
MOL ! Oh yes, Cupcake, you’re going to have fun ! Purrs
Hope there’s no breakable ornaments near the bottom. I was always good around the tree and it smelled like a real tree cos it was.
Cupcake, you’re in for a real treat! We love having a tree in the house.
I think she’ll make a lovely ornament once she gets up into that tree! Maybe someone better anchor it to the wall… 😉
Cupcake, you will have so much fun with the tree. Eric was forever pulling ours over, but Flynn had the knack of climbing up through the middle without toppling it. We put little metal jingly bells down low and they both loved to play with them.
RATS! Usually more kitties means diffusion of responsibility. You make a tough crowd Ashton and Pierre – but we bet you’ll enjoy the show.
We admire you for putting up the tree with a kitten in the house. We haven’t had one here since we were kittens. Mom Paula said maybe in a couple of years. Have fun, Cupcake!
hee hee! let’s set up a pool 😀 hmmm…we’ll take Dec 5 😀
pip, minnie, hollie, sharpie, ditto, TL
so is the tree still up?
I love that you have a cupcake ornament 🙂
