Dear Cat

[indysteel]

Thankfully, our young cat really only seems to care about the tree skirt. We don't even try to keep it around the tree at this point. She enjoys playing with it too much. Still, we don't put anything breakable on the lower branches, and we secured the tree with a rope knotted around an otherwise well secured curtain rod. A number of years ago, I had a tree that I decorated solely with little white lights and velvet bows that tied around the branches on the off chance that my then-young Sophie Kitty would destroy it. The tree was plain but pretty and there were no emergency trips to the vet.
