I was late putting the Christmas tree up, so it’s understandable I was late taking it down. Normally I put the tree up over Thanksgiving weekend, but finally got it up sometime around the second week of December. The take down weekend usually occurs the first Saturday after New Year, but time got away from me – again – and I finally took it down Monday night.
At least I had taken the ornaments off of it over the weekend, but kept forgetting to get the box out of the shed during daylight hours – when it’s dark, it’s not a wise idea to walk from the house to the shed because there’s always a possibility of stepping in doggy land mines. Not to mention there’s no light in the shed, and looking for the box blindly in the dark isn’t a wise idea either. So the tree sat naked waiting patiently. Until I noticed an unusual ornament stuck in the tree:
Can’t see it clearly? Here, maybe this will help:
Still not quite clear on what you’re seeing? This will definitely help:
Bet you see it now, don’t you? Blackspot decided the naked Christmas tree was the perfect place to practice some Warrior Cat climbing (according to Princess Nagger) attacking random branches:
And just hanging around:
Needless to say, I safely extracted the kitty and disassembled the tree which is now waiting safely in its box for a trip back out to the shed. It was quite ironic that Blackspot turned my fake tree into a living one for a day.
If you celebrate Christmas, when did you take your tree down?

He looks like he’s having lots of fun! ;0) x
I just want to say: Best.Cat.Tree.Ever!
LOL! That’s one adventurous kitty!
Ours is still up. No kitty ornaments, though.
Happy WW!

Our cats do the same thing, esp. the fattest one! LOL… we never did get our tree up this year, though. We suck.
LOL That is funny! So, after you took a thousand photos of your cat in the tree, did you squirt with a spray bottle to get him out of the tree? 😉 Naughty kitty!
Our tree is still up, sad to admit. We’ve so busy and not had a moment to take it down. Is there a tree-taking down service I can hire? You know like the service you can hire to hang your lights?
Aaaahh….you took down his toy…he was adorable in the tree☺

That is simply hilarious!
Pay no attention to the kitty in the tree. Most definitely!
Mine came down the weekend after Christmas. It was a real tree. Making keeping it up longer a fire hazard.
LOL, home sweet home. 🙂
Tree? I was supposed to put up a tree?
Such a cute post. I am glad you were able to get it on film
OMG I am so glad I checked your link, this is hysterical!
That is hysterical. It doesn’t seem the least bit comfortable. 🙂
So glad my cat didn’t do that this year!
I love your commentary. Our cats used to love the tree.
hehe my cat is the same spent all of Christmas in the tree
Now that’s funny! We’ve had cats get in the tree for a short while, but never stay there.
What a great catch! I have often wondered how my boys would react to a Christmas tree. I suspect they would try to do the same thing yours did – but they are both so heavy, it would not be long before they toppled the tree!

Have a fabulous week & I’ll see you at Friendship Friday! 🙂
That’s hilarious! I’ve seen cats go in some strange places but can’t say I’ve heard of one hanging out in a Christmas tree.
Haha so those kitty in the tree photos are really real! Haha. I love it! Glad it didn’t topple though!
My tree is still up.
Waiting on dh to come home and open his presents and then I’ll take it down 🙂 It’s only his presents under there.
He left before Christmas.
Hahaha, oh that’s fantastic! Must be nice to a kitty and get to sleep almost anywhere. LOL!
Such a mischievous cat! Looks like he had fun though.
I didn’t get around to putting a tree up this year, wasn’t at my place for Christmas this year, but I did get a wreath made out of real evergreen boughs. Smells great! It’s still up. I’ll get around to it eventually 🙂
LOL! Good hiding spot, for sure!
We took ours down the week after Christmas, but it was a real tree and very very dry. I would have loved to leave it up another week or 2, but the lack of fire danger won out. 🙂
I took our tree down on the 3rd or 4th. Luckily no cats hiding in my tree since I’m allergic!! LOL
I can’t believe you got those photos – too funny! We took out tree down at 9am on the 26th 🙂 BTW, been cleaning up my “subscriptions” and came by to see if you were still up and running – glad you are!! 🙂 Happy New Year!
Blackspot’s literally a tree hugger! LOL! So cute!
The cat in the tree really made me laugh!
