Scout watched with interest last night as I finished decorating the Christmas tree with ornaments from my travels. This is a fun tree because most of the ornaments come with a postcard featuring a vacation memory. It’s wonderful reliving my travels while looking forward to the holiday season.
For some reason, this is a fun tree for Scout too. While he simply naps beneath the other Christmas tree, he enjoys removing the ornaments from this one.
On the one hand, I’m glad he ignores the other one but would love to discuss with him why the decorations on this tree are so appealing.
If only cats could talk.
I fully expect to find ornaments all over the house tonight. He has a few favorites to knock down and bat around the room but he’s pleased to grab basically all of them if I turn my back!
I keep telling him he should be good because Santa Claws is coming to town but he thinks he’s already a purrfect angel and doesn’t understand the fuss!
I had a cat that loved the Christmas tree (always a real one then), he would sleep under it, drink the water from the stand and chew on the needles!!! I stopped putting tinsel on it because he ate taha too!!!He always was visibly excited when I brought the tree in and sad when it left!!! After he passed, ! never put up another tree!!!
What a fun kitty! Maybe someday you’ll put up at least a small tree in his memory. Thank you for sharing this memory! !
What a cute theme for a tree, and a sweet story about Scout, too. No, he’ll never reveal his secrets.
I always bring home an ornament and a postcard from my trips. Both go on the tree and it’s loads of fun to decorate and relive trip memories. I think it’s great and, evidently, he does too!
What a fabulous idea to collect ornaments from your travels. Thankfully our cat hasn’t expressed any interest in our ornaments. We picked up our Christmas tree yesterday and plan on decorating it this weekend.
Fingers crossed that your kitty continues to ignore it!
I always bring home an ornament and a postcard and write a trip memory on the postcard. I usually take my time decorating that tree to relive the fun!
Looking forward to seeing your collection expand, with wonderful stories of each one!
Scout looks forward to those new ornaments too!
