Some of you may remember last year that Mollipop was still a bit of a kitten last year at Christmas. And when we put the trees up, she loved to play in them, take the ornaments down and use them as toys, and just generally do what kittens do to trees. We put out a basket and every ornament that she removed from the trees, we put into the basket. By the time we took the trees down on New Years Day, there were almost 30 ornaments in the basket.
Well, now we have Mollipop and Tabby. We put our living room tree up on Sunday. As of this morning, we have 12 ornaments in the basket! 
Those girls! Terrors on paws....both of them. We put a smal stuffed kitty at the bottom of the tree; when you press on it, it Meows to the tune of We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Well, Tabby grabbed it on Sunday night and was playing with it, but she couldn't get it off the tree. And she must have squeezed it just right with her teeth because suddenly, the "Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow," started in. Tabby's eyes got big, her tail bushed out, and she chirped and took off back the hallway. I went back to the bedroom and she was under the bed, looking out at me! She came out to me and she was chattering away at me. "Mom! What was that thing? Mom, Iz sceered!"
Well, she still hangs out under the tree (the 12 ornaments in the basket prove that), but she leaves that little stuffed kitty alone!
And the ornament's are just their toys anyway, right ??? LOL.... They just cannot figure out WHY you put their toys in that tree 
. I want one of those "stuffed meowing kitties" 
I am not sure I even want to put up the tree this year 
... Five of my cat's are just over a year and would absolutely think the tree is a challenge to retrieve those new toys
