and you wonder why they puke on your pillow?

Cats enjoy Christmas trees, too | The Monitor

Grey Kitty was the first to climb up the tree. I took a few pictures because he looked so cute playing peek-a-boo. Then the adult cats started their annual posturing to claim the new territory. I let them have their fun for a few moments — well, actually, a few hours. Then I pulled out the anti-cat artillery. It’s the only way to train them to stay off the tree before we put on the ornaments.

We squirt the cats with water. What is it about cats and water? They react as if we had tossed acid in their faces. It’s not as if it’s the element of surprise, since they see us standing there with the spray bottle.

It’s kind of fun. It’s our own version of Whac-a-Mole, the carnival game where plastic moles pop out of a hole and get bonked on the head with a mallet.
