Cat and Christmas Tree

Having just brought home and set up our own real Christmas tree, I could relate to Simon’s Cat, Santa Paws as he discovers all the fun of a tree in the livingroom bejeweled with new playthings!  I had many giggles watching the video below and hope you will too!

For us, so far, so good.  There have been pine-needle eating contests here by the cats (the kitten won) and hide and go seek games played under the branches.  There has been batting and tapping of ornaments which are break-proof specifically placed on the lower branches for some pawsome fun to be had and with fingers crossed, all is well.  I don’t think that eating pine needles off of the tree nor drinking from the christmas tree holder base is wise.  Lucky for me (and them) we only use plain water and no chemicals to keep the tree moist.  I do tie a tree skirt around the base, but the houdini paws of our cats have learned to untie and find a way to play/drink in the sappy water.  Silly kittens!

Do you have any pets who like to participate in the fun of setting up a Christmas tree?  Please share as I love to hear all about their antics!

Simon’s Cat Helps, Does Yours?

Oh goodness gracious, are you a cat owner, or better referred to as owned by a cat?  As I was trying to write this morning, the video below was very similar to my experience.  Tigger, our mischevious almost one year old kitten, decided to help me and we battled like Simon did!  Of course, I giggled more than Simon, especially after seeing that his experience was much like my own.

Cats are funny creatures, but surely mine would say the same about her humans.  I guess this is why Simon’s Cat always gives me a much needed giggle.  So, I thought I’d pass it along to you today!

Take a few moments today to bond with your loved ones, both human and otherwise.  We are all a part of this Universe and family is so important.  Be kinder than necessary.  Be more patient than you normally are.  Be more present than ever.  Now’s the time.  Fill your day, your life with love.

Shine On!
