Naughty Kitties In a Silver Tree

Came home just the other day
Caught my kitties well at play

Cats like to climb up trees it's true
They have the Christmas spirit too!

But not my lovely Christmas tree!
They looked as innocent as can be

With ornaments hanging off his nose
One came out smelling like a rose

For his little sister was worse than that
She was a silver garland-wrapped cat!

Oh they had such fun 'til I came home
Their saucer eyes so brightly shone

I couldn't stay mad for very long
Soon was singing a different song

Found the camera and flashed some shots
Cleaning up all the messy spots

Re-hung the ornaments on the tree
Again it was lovely as could be!

Ha ha so cute. Christmas trees are always a magnet to playful pets. I have a parrot who likes to steal the chocolates from bottom branches of the tree. If he stretches his neck he can just about reach. I hang some fruity treats for him, but they aren't naughty enough. Enjoyed your write, it brought a smile & I bet those photographs are priceless ~ Sharon

That would be worse than having a child do that for with a child you could try to explain to them and eleminate the problem but with cats no explaining will work..I was delighted that you found something that you could relate to in my work "Only Seven Years Old"...I had responsibilities also but not cooking..Just getting in wood and water and feeding the dog...The water had to be drawn from the well..Daddy had to help me with that but I carried a bucket full to the kitchen..Sara
