OK, maybe not now but perhaps in time... Oddly, our three Rotten Cat Boys have never bothered the tree - they just crawl under it and use it as a cave until we take it down. They love it. This year, though, there was a three-way cat brawl underneath the tree and it definitely started to sway and we thought it would surely topple, but no - still standing! <br /><br />Anyway, I think cat memories are short enough that Ruby will have no long-lasting scars next year!

Indy ate a bunch of chocolate just a couple days before Christmas and we seriously thought he was a goner. Nope. He's fine. And has clearly forgotten about the whole incident.

Oh....cats. I remember well. (it's probably a good thing I do remember so well otherwise my son could probably talk me into getting another one!) ;)<br /><br />I love Ruby's spirit. ...sounds like our Jackson was as a kitten. He was such a lovable, cute & charming BRAT! <br /><br />p.s. you should enter Ruby's picture in the tree (pick the cutest one) into THIS contest: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151808721906048.1073741829.92259496047&type=1<br /><br />Both myself and Mrs Always Random entered our pets (I think Indy has a really great chance at winning the thing!)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825026066797480342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-33141715967491337972013-12-29T18:13:57.095-06:002013-12-29T18:13:57.095-06:00Yeesh....scary!

I lost a few ornaments this year - Miss Kitty was actually chewing on one of them like she was loving the crunch crunch of glass in her teeth!

I'm grateful you were home to rescue Ruby, and I'm so sorry that you had to get torn up for doing so, those little needle-sharp claws and teeth hurt so very much! I'm just betting that curiosity will get the better of her again next year and she'll be up the tree, but perhaps a bit more cautiously!
