Day 55: The cookies are baked, and now the decorating begins. The tree is up, but the ornaments won't be hung until tomorrow. Why? Ah, I can tell you don't have any cats at your house by that query! The tree is a terrible temptation even though it's artificial, and a few admonitions must be issued this first evening to remind the curious that this is neither chewable nor climbable. The ornaments will be another story. Weren't those left dangling specifically to be batted? No, Tip, they were not, and you know better. It only takes a single clap of my hands or a cautioning word to make the Boy desist, but Skunk is deaf and needs to see me make a motion toward her to break her concentration. We'll have it all sorted out by tomorrow night! They're really good kitties, both of them, at least where the tree is concerned. Bows...now that's another matter entirely!
