It is that time of year again.. and isn't it a blessing that Miss Muffin got to take her place once again..
For those of you who are new to the blog, several years ago I couldn't face dragging out all of our ornaments and decorating the tree so we just threw all of our cat toys on the tree. I loved it so much we have done it ever since. To do this we have to pull out the basket of toys which Muffin loves to crawl in and claim as her own. Last year we lost a number of toys to moths and the basket was retired and they have been in a plastic tote, so this year we just dumped all the toys on the floor, and true to her nature, Muffin claimed all the toys.
The tree is a little sparse due to the reduced number of toys, but I still think it looks lovely.. It makes me happy, it makes the cats happy, and we don't have to stress about broken ornaments..
If you would like a Christmas card from us you can send me your address, fill out the postable form. I sent out the first wave of cards yesterday so if you don't get one in the next few days, please request one.. I didn't keep the list from last year because keeping up with who has moved would be too much.

This is such a fabulous idea! But unfortunately we don't have many cat toys despite the 5 cats. Reason -- one of them, only one of them likes only ONE squeaky mouse that she hunts every day with great war cries. The others exclusively want empty cardboard boxes. It will make a sad Christmas tree. lol.
