The Cats’ Christmas Tree

by Lynn Little

Last year I bought a beautiful, pre-lit, 7 foot Christmas tree. It was on sale and at a good price. I was so pleased with it because it was one of the nicest artificial trees we have ever had.

I wasn’t the only one impressed with the tree. Our cats really liked the tree, too. Every day it seems I would catch at least one in the tree. Fade seemed to enjoy lounging in it while Calisto found it quite tasty.

By the time Christmas was over, my poor tree had been through it. The tree was beyond repair and just didn’t look the same. I donated it to the local thrift store and decided just to get another one this year. At least with the cats now staying outside, this tree might survive the holiday season.
