GODZILLA IS BESTROYING THE WHOLE CITY!! Well, the Christmas tree actually...

[KillerMuffin]

Godzilla was in his element today. He attacked and ravaged the Muffin Family Christmas tree. The menacing monster began with the tinsel garland, hauling it down and making some of the bulbs crash to the floor. It was shortly followed by a charge at the tree, and then up along the trunk. He clung to it halfway up and chewed on the lights. Moments later he was seen disappearing into the thick upper growth. The angel and Godzilla then plummeted to the floor and got into a wrestling match. The angel put up one helluva fight, but in the end, Godzilla won. The lights, now twinkling as they considered shorting out, caught the evil monster's attention. He leaped for them, grabbing ahold of the already precarious tree. His momentum and weight were too much, the tree hit the floor, thankfully unplugging the lights as it went.

Joe, the Muffin Family Cat, watched the wreckage with stoic indifference from the back of the couch. Upon my horrified arrival on scene, she looked at me and flicked her ears as if to say, "This is what you get for getting another cat. Wasn't I enough?"

(Wiping tears from my eyes) Oh, KM, you always do it to me . . .

When I was growing up, the people down the street had the prototype of upscale Christmas trees. They had traveled extensively, and brought back very gorgeous, expensive, and unique ornaments.

So, one year not only did the baby bring down the tree -- wiping out a number of blown-glass German ornaments -- but Icarus the cat flew too close to the sun and wiped out a number of papier-mache decoupage ornaments, along with two strings of lights.

Godzilla follows in illustrious steps.

There are no ornaments on my tree (yet) for that exact reason. Grendle was thrilled to discover we had installed a tree for his personal enjoyment.

Hopefully I will be able to convince him otherwise by Christmas.

I had an iguana for years that thought it was his new home... we could never plug the lights in without carefully making sure he wasn't in the tree. He would try to bite the lights when they were on.
Never knocked it over though he managed to frighten a couple unsuspecting visitors.

I think this has happened in nearly every home with a pet. It has happend to me twice. One the cat got it, and once a rug rat.

OMG-----ROTFLAFAO....I have tears in my eyes as I read your little problem of your kitty lol

 

[Samuari]

In their younger years Puddles and Othelo (our black American Short Hair} used to debate the owener ship of our tree. Othelo would perch abourt 2/3 thirds of the way to the topand hiss and spit at the wonder poodle who in turn would circle underneath, climbing on gifts, alternatly braking, whining, and howling, in an effort to convince Othelo to come down and fight like a dog. Somtimes he did.

Who needs a TV?

LMAO!!

Once upon a time this Muffin's home contained a feline who caused the Christmas tree to be anchored via guy wires to two walls for the season.

Now the munchykin's are critter-less but the tree may still end up guy wire'd to the walls for its own safety. Go Godzilla Go! *lol*

Gilly enjoys dipping her paw into the stand and licking the sugared water off it. Most other times she's content to curl up under the tree and peek at us through the packages.

Ahh, the joys of a mild mannered Tonganees cat.

We once had a kitty that turned our tree over three time in one week before I banished her to other parts of the house for the holidays.

This year Sugar thinks she should sleep in the tree and Daisy keeps pulling my beads off it.

Re: LMAO!!

Christmas tree to be anchored via guy wires to two walls for the season.

We have two sinister sister kitties here ( Poo and Roo ),,, what one doesn't think of the other will. Think of a bull in a china shop here folks. While out to dinner tonight, apparently the dynmic duo decided that they were under attended ( cats craving attention? who would've believed it )

Upon arriving home from dinner, we discovered that the tree was tilted against a chair, 90% of our antique ornaments were broken,,, the girls presents that were brought home and deposited under the tree before going out were ripped to shreds. Poo was in the tree napping and Roo was sitting on the floor with a dazed look in her eyes,,, and a much satisfied grin where her mouth usually is,,, and she was purring!!!!! No running to hide by neither one either.

I know, I know,,, this is to be EXPECTED with young animals,,, thing is, last year they didn't even give the tree a second glance. Last year was all critter proof ornaments. This year since the last two grandparents had passed on, I opted for the older ornaments ( foolish me ).

Oh well. The tree is back up,,, Lowes and Wal-Mart are delighted as I spent a small fortune purchasing new glass ornaments and got them hung tonight. Now the tree has a pair of heavy duty guy wires anchoring it to the wall.

The girls are lividly pissed off since their gifts from their friends were opened and somewhat damaged and THEY have banished the kitties to the basement for the night.
