Oh you are in trouble with a kitten and a tree. Your ornaments are history. I would always unplug the tree when you leave the house so the kitten don't chew the wires, they are very curious their first year, your kitten will see it as a real tree and climb it I bet. I wish you lots of luck with this and have patience with the kitten, it is only doing what comes natural, play, play, play.
I start decorating the day after thanksgiving, I will probably start the weekend after since it is in the middle of the week.

Thats a lot you people are doing. Well mine is a real tree and I know how difficult it is to maintain that. I have placed it in our garden. That will be decorated for sure and I have already started doing that. Going to buy an artificial one as well for granny's. She loves cakes....and I am good at it(blowing my own trumpet Wink)

Happy Holidays to all Smile

Grandparents expressions tell so much on the holidays as they watch generations of their families come together, what a nice thing to do. These are memories that she will cherish the remainder of her life, and the younger children will always remember going to granny's house. Have fun, hope everything goes well.

Yes I am sure that you have built alot of good memories at grandma's house. I think it is great that the family is willing to go to her house since she is older and let her enjoy hosting all the festivities, alot of times younger generations try to step into too young and start new traditions, grandparents should never be left out of the holidays and I think it is great that you have made her the center of it all.

The usual here, all the kids are grown, so the grandkids have taken their places, they will all wake up at their own homes and open presents, I will call them all and see what santa brought them. I really miss that part, dealing with the little ones anticipation a few days before and the morning of christmas was always a real treat for me. I could not get those kids out of bed that early with the liberty bell ringing as an alarm, hee, hee. The kids are my favorite part I think, they keep the excitement in christmas for me.

We have the kitten and the mother, the mother keeps bringing in mice to the kitten, at first they were dead, then just wounded and now she just brings live ones in. Well, he just wants to play with them forever, tonight it got under the sectional, what a pain to pull out, it kept running to the other side, so the cats did not get that one, it went out the door. I have a dog door that they go in and out of and my dogs use it too, so there is no way of stopping them from bringing them in. I wish she would keep them where she finds them around the feed barrels.

Oh heavens, good sounds like you have a very eventful house! we have three kitties, one is disabled but can still chase things, the other two just get into my fake flowers and eat them. comes out in the end so i guess they're ok, but mice no thank you! my mom and deal with that all the time. they live on a farm in the middle of no where so there's all sorts of critters that get in. they do have one cat that takes care of the mice, she kills them then buries them in her litter box for my mom to find whenever she scoops out the litter. blah ick! at least she kills them though, soundslike your kitties have found 'playmates' Wink
she wants to bring presents to you Smile lol

I would freak out if she brought in a mouse, dead or alive. It sounds like she is just trying to train her kitten though, if she has brought them in, in all stages of disablement, huh. Hope she stops for you soon.

I think you are right da, but you know she should be taking him outside and teaching him to hunt. This is getting a little crazy when I am doing most of the mousing when she brings them in live. Especially when they get under the sectional, that is such a pain.

Maybe she will break this cycle soon, as long as you are catching them all and getting them back out doors, you should be ok, look at it this way, as long as they are in the house your cats will be entertained.

Yeah, well they can entertain themselves out side, soon the tree will be up and they will have it to mess with so I suppose they will have thier minds off the mice. hopefully.

I was gonna start decorating this weekend but just did not have the motivation to do it, I had a five day weekend and I swear I got less done than I do in a two day weekend. I will definately get to it next weekend, I have the singing santa out so my four year old got the old man about worn out and us about crazy, he sings 5 different songs and I swear I have heard them all at least 100 times in two days. Ready to tear my hair out. LOL
