No, no, no! How long have you had cats?! If you want them to get out of the tree, you must say (and mean), “Please climb up in the tree so I can get the most perfectly cute picture to put on our Christmas card.”
They will immediately vacate the area and never even look at the tree again.
Which is why trees in homes with climbing cats have more rugged ornaments installed, Woman. We had to leave the fragile, sentimental ornaments off the tree for quite a while after Dozer found the tree and taught future feline members of the family the Joy Of Climbing. How long have you cohabitated with cats, again?
(Lupin, stop shattering ornaments, geeze. You only need to break ONE to make your point!)
Now he’s got that helmet on square; not askew anymore. I guess here is where the real testing comes in with the Ornaments and Candy Canes.
But Lupin, you struck your woman with a candy cane, and she was sans Hard Hat.
I think you are too taken with the game and the chase and forgot your Chivalry. Ask for your 1,000 pardons now, before it becomes too late to forgive, or stop.
Lupin! What made you think it was a good idea to hit your mom in the head with a candy cane?? You are definitely not angling for Canned Food Wednesday.
No, no. You has to leaves the forest-tree ex-purr-ts alone to inspects. They’ll checks the quali-tree and then guaran-trees that your purr-oduct is purr-fect.
Good news from Georgia about Lupin, “The updated medication doses and new pill seem like a great change so far! Lupin has had a trot back in his step and has been chasing toys. He even got serious about “helping” us make cookies tonight with Goldie and Iggy.”
Shattered ornaments are a danger to the human children. Elvis needs to give Lupin a good smackdown to protect his Girl. I’ve told the story before, but my golden retriever puppy picked up one of those fragile glass balls she’d knocked off the tree with her happy tail. It was one of the scariest moments in my life. If she’d chomped down, I doubt she’d have survived. Fortunately, she had good retriever genes and a soft mouth so disaster averted. After that, I put Styrofoam balls covered in silk thread on the bottom half of the tree and locked the glass balls on by bending the hangers.
I caught my “work cat” thinking about climbing their Christmas tree the other day. I said “no!” in a stern voice and of course she proceeded to lounge under the tree… which was what she was planning on doing anyways! Such a silly biped for thinking otherwise.
Got my new BCN Calendar for 2022! Iggy made it into the calendar this time.
Though we may all be in for some heartbreak if Lupin doesn’t pull through as he’s in it every month. That will be sad for us and worse for Ms. Dunn and family – and especially for poor Elvis.
I just realized that some of the tracks on the Christmas playlist I sent out don’t include photos/album covers. I’m kind of obsessive about these details, so if you’d like the missing pictures just let me know.
Yippee! I got my calendar today, too. Looks like several of us ordered on the same day. I haven’t looked at the whole thing yet. I will do that on Christmas, since it’s the only Christmas present I get. (We don’t usually exchange gifts any more).

They live in a pink house
You hear their frolicing round the block
Where Christmas trees tend to crash out the window
What cat inspectors try to get stopped
Then out flies some stuff
Ornaments that’s all fragile as heck
And woman says, you get on my nerves
You’ll soon get this kind of detention in the neck!
I say, hey (hey), you (you)
Get out of my tree
Hey (hey), you (you)
Get out of my tree

Silver Bells
Antique glass balls
Starting to fall
From the Christmas tree boughs
As the cats conduct their inspection
Branches shaking, mayhem making
All that gravity allows
As the Cat of Adventure lets fall
Antique bells
Antique bells
It’s Cat of Adventure nitty gritty
Must give in
Never win
When Lupin’s there up in the tree!
