Every year at this time, I enjoy seeing pictures of cats in Christmas trees. I know they can truly wreak havoc on holiday decor, but their antics sure make for some cute photos! Luckily Rory, shown above, has never shown an interest in Daughter's tree...other than napping sweetly under it!
The same cannot be said for Miss Lily. She may look innocent here, helping me recently with the kitchen tree.
And she may actually appear helpful here, assisting me with stringing lights on the now NOT-pre-lit tree.
You missed a spot, Mommie!
She reaches for a branch when suddenly -- for just a moment -- Lily remembers her first Christmas way back in 2006.
That year, she was QUITE involved with setting up (and taking down) the dining room tree.
If memory serves me, we never got past the bead garland that year. There were no ornaments on this tree.
Because of this...
...and this...
...and this.
This naughtiness continued into the following year, when we tethered the trees to the the window frames with fishing line. Still, she knocked the trees completely over.
Thankfully, we are past all of that. But I'll admit that I can't help but look back on these pictures and smile!
Happy Feline Friday!

Cats are extremely cute when laying very quietly under a lit Christmas tree. We have one cat that will do this - he loves to sleep under it. However . . .we have another (rather large) cat that likes to lay IN the tree, on the branches. We finally had to get rid of it because he broke so many. Now we also have 2 large dogs so no more tree.
Hope you & Lily have a Merry Christmas!
I can’t help but to smile, either, Janet! It can be frustrating dealing with our fur babies and having to work around their naughtiness sometimes, but oh, the humor and sweet memories as we look back over the years. Lily is just adorable! And what a good little girl Rory is!
Machelle -- I can relate to that! Lily broke a few branches and she wasn't even that big! Happy holidays to you and yours! Thank you for stopping by!
Kimberly Marie -- Thanks for popping in! Like with children, that naughty stage only lasts a little while! :) Happy Christmas to you all!
