I like your interpretation of the topic Jo

Me too, very good -

Gee! I can almost hear your kitty saying "What's the good of having a Christmas (tree) if you can't do what you want!"

Bless him, I suppose he only wanted to be helpful.

No he was protesting that we were dismantling his tree, he thought if he sat in it we wouldn't tackle him.
This year he's simply decimated it from day one, creating a whole crushed level that he sleeps in!! It's a ginger thing!

We had to tie the xmas tree to the radiator and skirting boards to stop our ginger tom (Llewelyn) - he used to try and climb to the top.
