The only time our Christmas tree fell over, the cats had nothing to do with it. It just fell. And landed on me.
We have a real tree, and it takes me a good two hours to decorate it. I am happy to say none of our cats ever brought down a Christmas tree. Eating pine needles, batting low-hanging ornaments around, rumpling the blanket–that’s about all the mischief we have to cope with.
Yeah, we can laugh at these videos. You sort of have to.
I never put up a tree any more, since my sons are both middle age, and do not want the bother,
and I don’t need it either, but remember how difficult it used to be trying to keep the dogs and cats
out of the mischief.
To me it’s still worth it (but don’t ask me while I’m actually doing all that work).
