Many humans have no idea how to keep Christmas. Cats, on the other hand, think that the holiday was designed for them. Ask any cat, and should they deign to give you an answer, it would be that there is an inextricable link between cats and Christmas. Carreras family cats always maintain it started when the cat in the manger shared her kitten’s bed with the baby Jesus.
Less religious-leaning cats will point out that the tinkling bells and little balls of decorations are natural cat toys. So what could be more normal than a catnip toot and a boisterous field day playing with delicate ornaments ( with the humans running around shrieking!)?
Afterward, a nice nap can be had in front of the fireplace, followed by an excellent roast.
About this point, your cat has determined that they have proven the point definitively, categorically ( so to speak), and in the words of the ancient cat philosopher Aristocatocles – QED (Quod Erat Demonstratum, thus I have proven it).
So as you decorate your tree, remember all the nice bells and balls go where your cat can grab them.
Xenia–we did not see your name as the author of this inexplicably well-written piece of information, but surely the human did not write this! We thank you for passing along this vital post so, hopefully, the humans get Christmas right.–your faithful Florida felines
The human wrote it under cat supervision Lois. I would be afraid to do otherwise.
Goodness, I don’t normally have a Christmas tree, but I probably would feel obliged if I had feline in the family.
They’d be sure to guilt trip you into one, Tracy.
I can see myself putting up a little tree just for the cat.
