This may be our last tree for many years to come. It's been this way since we got Baby a few years ago. (See my "The Cat Who Stole Christmas" blogpost from our first year with her.)
It starts with her jumping onto the pie safe. (Look at the glare as she realizes she's been noticed.) Normally a ham for the camera, she knows what she is about to do is a no-no. But in less than a minute, she has forgotten all about me and has now focused her undivided attention on....
The Christmas Tree.
Within moments...
...the batting begins...
...and that is usually followed by a trip across the bannister to the back of the tree...
... where she finds even more ornaments to bat at.
Note: Normally she is picked up and removed from the tree immediately when she starts these antics, but for the sake of this one blogpost, I allowed her to be her normal curious kitty self.
(Just so nobody is worrying about Baby, the drop from the bannister to our split entry foyer is only a few feet. Nonetheless, I do try to discourage her from climbing across it.)
Here she is in action, thanks to my little camera video.
I'm joining Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage for A Favorite Thing Saturday this week.
Stop over and share a favorite thing of yours!
