I'm seeing so many people here
ing because their cats won't leave their holiday decorations alone.
I think my cats are strange.
They really don't bother with the Christmas tree at all. Well, not since I stopped using the sparkly garland on it. Ophelia has the garland, sparkly fetish - she is the reason that garland cannot be hung anywhere in my house.
They LOVE laying underneath the tree, but that's it. They don't climb it, they don't play with the ornaments, they don't chew on the lights. I have the stockings up on the mantle right next to their cat tree - and they don't bother the stockings at all.
Wrapping presents can be a trick, especially if Trent notices I'm doing it. But I've found the way to distract him - he's a paper ripper, so if I use one of the little strips of scrap paper to distract him with and let him have it he will happily rip that bit up and not even notice that Meowmy is speed wrapping the other presents.
Ribbons are a bit trickier, but I can still manage to distract him with more scraps of paper if necessary.
So, really - are Trent and Ophelia just strange little kitties? Anyone else have a GOOD kitty with Christmas? I've never skipped decorating with them around - not even when they were babies!
