Flashback Friday

Today's flashback is from November 24, 2007 and explains why we don't put up a Christmas tree.

 I'm such a huge scaredy cat!!!

Here is the huge box that has our Christmas tree in it. Mom brought it out of hiding yesterday and I was very curious as to what was inside. Well, she started taking out these huge noisy branches and it about scared the pants (if I wore them!) off me! I was so terrified I wouldn't come out in the living room and haven't since then. One time I forgot and did come out, took one look at it and ran for the bedroom! Then Mom put a new Christmas rug in the kitchen and I'm terrified of that too and won't go in there where the food is so Mom was getting worried I would waste away to nothing, so she put the rug away. She doesn't know what to do. Should she put the tree away and not decorate it this year or wait and see if I get use to it and eventually come out and explore. I know it takes me a bit to get use to things and she's been very patient and understanding with me since she adopted me since I'm such a whimp.



This is where Mom moved my cat tree to make room for that scary ol' tree. I really like having it in the bedroom. I can still lay on it and look out a window and it's nice and close to the heat register so I stay nice and warm. Last night I even crawled under the covers to sleep next to Mom to help keep her warm. This was the first time I ever did that and Mom was so surprised! Maybe I'll do it more often as she really seemed to like it.

    We thought you would love to see the tree and didn't realise you were scared of it. Never mind your Mom will look after you.
    Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

    We'd forgotten the reason you don't have a Christmas tree. It doesn't matter, Laila, you can celebrate without one.

    As an aside, you know Derry is frightened of just about everything (he jumps down from the new cat stand when I open the curtains--he's scared of the sound? movement?) but he's never been bothered by any Christmas tree, large or small. It would be neat to really understand how our cats are perceiving the things that frighten them so much.

    Anyway, happy Friday and have a good weekend!

    I vote to leave the tree there, Laila. I bet you will get used to it once you see it isn't a monster.You might even like to try to climb it. All of you have a great day.

    I haven't seen the tree yet - I hope I won't be scared of it! But then, not much frightens me.

    I love the tree Laila, it has lots of toys on it for batting. Mum has to keep all the best ones on the top half. I used to climb it when I was younger but not any more.

    We don't know if any of us are scared of our mom and dad's Christmas tree because they haven't put it up in three years. That's longer than most of us have been here. They say maybe next year. That's when the fun begins! Purrs...

    Laila, we knew you were scared of the Christmas tree. But seriously, there's nothing to be scared of. In fact, that tree has lots of toys on it for you to play with!

    That's one thing we've never experienced but we can sue see where it would be scary!

    So far we haven't been afraid of the trees. But Mom only has table top trees.

    Don't feel bad. Our Sneaky Pie is a big mancat and every ounce the biggest frady cat there could ever be! And on account of some of us liking to climb it, Mumsy and CatDady Junior put the Christmas tree into CadDaddy Junior's room! Darn it.
    Hugs!

    All of us love a good Christmas tree. It is always warm underneath when the lights are on, and it has great things on it to bat around, plus it's a great place to hide. Hope you change your mind about it and have some fun. And we hope you will join us tomorrow for our Sunday Selfies Blog Hop.

    p.s. Just realized you said that was a post from 2007 and you no longer have a Christmas Tree. That makes us sad, for all the reasons we said above!
