christmas tree, my christmas tree....

i put my tree up this weekend, yes, a little early i know, but i have to put it up so the cats can get used to it. i shaped it up all pretty and they did so good. only trying to eat it a little bit. well, i come home yesterday, and the tree looks mighty funny. the branches are all pushed down, it's certainly no longer shaped. so while i'm trying to shape it back up, i look down, and strat has climbed the artificial tree. i didn't even know there was enough to grip to climb an artificial tree. especially on this tree, it's really slim and only 7 ft. it's a wonder he didn't knocked it down. if i wouldn't have been so mad, i would have thought to get a picture. can't wait to see what happens with the lights and ornaments.
