My cat-proof tree

It’s on the patio, just outside of the catio. This way we can all enjoy it but no one can climb on it. Win-win.

.
.

The tree and ornaments were actually rescued from someone’s trash and I decided to do this. I also have a small twinkly light tree on top of my fridge which is inaccessible to my gang, also rescued, who say, “Hey, Meowry Christmas!”

Wishing all you animal lovers and rescuers a lovely week.

and thrifty, too!

And Santa won’t even have to fit into the chimney to leave their presents under it!

and content. I love animals, too. Thank you for rescuing these lucky ones. Enjoy the holiday season. May next year be a much better one for us all. Getting the orange mistake out of office would be a major improvement for us all. Hug your kit-kats for me.

Heh, there's actually 4 there. Kinda hard to see but in the middle you can discern some white feet sticking up from one all snuggled up against her mom.

Ditto on that next year idea.

my home. It's one of the cat's favorite places to perch while she knocks refrigerator magnets, calendar, and notes to the floor when she wants attention. To her, a decorated tree up there would be an invitation.
