Friday Flashback

This flashback is from December 2010 and it was titled
FORMERLY FERAL FRIDAY 

No greater love does a Mom have than taking down her beautiful Christmas tree two years ago a week after it went up and giving the tree, lights and garland away...

...because her sweet, baby feral kitten, Laila, was terrified of it and wouldn't go into any room it could be seen from.


Well, this year she decided to try a little 2 1/2 foot tree. Mom was in the recliner when Laila jumped up next to her. Laila soon spotted the tree and within a minute tore out of the room, terrified. So, the next morning Mom took the tree away. She carried Laila, freaking out all the way, to the desk to show her the tree was gone. Then put her on the floor where Laila ran around looking all over to see what the tree had gone to. Satisfied that it was gone, she was a happy little girl once again. Now Mom is stuck with dozens and dozens of cat ornaments.

So, that's why we don't have a Christmas tree.

  2. Goodness - we've never known a tree to frighten a cat before unless it's toppled down with them hanging on.

  3. First I thought the reason was that you climbed around in the tree like I would have done if we would ever have a Christmastree :)
    Sorry to hear that the Christmas tree makes you sooo scared , Laila :(

  5. Wow! I wonder if there is a scientific name for Christmas tree phobia, 'cause Laila sure has it!

  6. Oh bummer. You have to wonder if something bad happened to her near a tree before she came to live with you?

  7. We are sorry you are so scared of Christmas trees Laila because you don't realise what fun they can be with all the dangly toys hanging off them. Maybe you got chased up a tree when you were feral, and got stuck and that is why they scare you.

  8. Mum says get a wire shaped tree that can just hold ornements. She has one somewhere.

  10. Mowzers, Laila, maybe you're a jewish kitteh like us. Would you like a chanukah bush instead?

    (seriously, we think your mom is amazing for doing this for you!!!)

  13. Oh that is so sad! No Chrissymouse tree because Laila is terrified of them. Well, it's good that your Mom gets rid of them and takes care of Laila!
