A Cats Christmas

Your instructors, Iris and Fern will demonstrate how to
assemble and decorate a Christmas tree.

A special thank-you to our talented girls for their expertise. Now an update ...

WEEK ONE

The tree is still standing, only 1 ornament officially broken. However things are certainly a little bit off!

On the left is Iris tree diving, great new sport!

To the right, we have Iris attempting to take over the
angel duties at the top of
the tree.

The Christmas tree update! After three weeks, 2 crazy cats have taken their toll.

The decorating has taken on the "distressed look".

A ring of cardboard was added in the middle to deter the cats from climbing up the tree. Obviously this didn't work. Instead, created a platform!
Our tree has NEVER fallen over. It is 17 years old and obviously built to last! We do not secure it to the wall, but would recommend it to others, if your tree is not sturdy and you have purroud feline decorating enthusiasts.

A few more pretty photos of our girls.
Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the tree,
2 kitties were stirring cute as can be...

Please ensure a safe season for your pets. Tinsel is not recommended or other similar items such as thin ribbon on presents. Every vet office has numerous stories of emergency surgeries to remove decorative items which pets have ingested!
Watch pets aren't consuming the actual tree or chewing the lights! There are products such as "Bitter Apple" that can be sprayed to deter unwanted chewing.
Also watch the metal hooks used to hang ornaments.

Have fun - but play safe!

For years I was quite petite at 6 pounds,
making it very easy to climb in the tree.

Now that I'm 10 years old, I weigh just over 10 pounds.
But getting in the tree is still as fun as ever!

Here's all 3 of us with our stockings.
(Iris is under the buffet)
Hope Santa fills them up good!

Jaz's says 'Santa, I've Been Doggone Good'
Our kitty one says 'Santa, I've Been Purrfect'

The paw print ones have our names on them.

Oh we LOVE Christmas Day - Presents!!!


	Jaz doesn't play with toys, for her treats are the best present. Us kitties are the opposite, we don't like treats, but sure enjoy toys, especially with catnip. We always get our favourites Christmas morning!

Jazmyn enjoyed some new festive collars,
and a Santa suit over the years.
But she was the prettiest in her Party Dress!

Note: Very sad news,
Jazmyn passed away on Oct. 25th 2010.

Jaz was 16 years old.

We think of her and miss her
dearly every day. What a special little girl!

Our pets, past & present have a
meaningful ornament, just for them!
You can spot them all here, hanging proudly.

It's a nice way to have the ones who have
passed away, still with us during
the holidays. Yes, brings a few tears
putting them up. Miss our furriends.

Whether its Christmas that you celebrate - or another
meaningful occasion, or nothing at all! It is always
important to appreciate your family (especially pets :)
& friends this time of year and year round too!

Remember the best gift of all, is YOUR time.

Thank you! Page 2 is here! Just as funny as this one!
