So, as I read about cats who open presents and ruin trees I wonder if I'm the only one who has "well behaved" cats or if those other people like me just don't post cuz it's not interesting?!
Last year I skipped the tree because Wickett was less than a year old and I was afraid he'd destroy it. So, this year I get brave and get the decorations and Wickett thinks they are evil incarnate and won't go near any of them! He ran and hid when I pulled the tree out of the box. He came out as I was decorating but was very cautious. He ran and hid again when I put lights up in the family room and up the banister. He was so scared that even in the safetly of my arms he freaked out as soon as he saw the lights. Now he watches them flash and I wonder if he think the lights are plotting against him. LOL Frankie is very indifferent to pretty much everything (typical calico) and is unphased by everything except Wickett jumping on her head. Then last night I put together gift bags for my office party today and left them out so I'd remember them in the morning and they were just as I left them.
That's not to say he's perfect. In the last week he's had a spaz attack and pulled out router off the entertainment center twice. I swear if he could purpa would hurt him for it. LOL Nothing will make an IT guy more angry than damaged equipment. Fortunately it was fine but it still made daddy mad.
In the grand scheme of things though my kits are pretty well behaved. Espically compared to some of the trouble makers here... 8-bit come to mind.
