*We adopted a kitten in September and named him Voodoo
The Christmas Tree
We knew that we'd have tree-climbing with the kitten, who climbs bricks, amongst other things in the house. If we had drapes, he'd be a drape-climber. So we took precautions in order to help ensure that the tree would survive Voodoo. You can see these here and here. Good thing we did, as you can see what happened as soon as the tree was put up:
Voodoo ascended the tree....to almost the very top. This inspired Emmie to do her own tree-climbing, as you can see above. And so it goes when living with three cats.
