The one time we tried to have a tree with these two monsters, it got knocked over a couple of times. Given we don't actually do Christmas in this state, we just decided "fuck it," and don't DO a tree. Which means it never feels like Christmas to me until we're in NJ.  |

I have an oversize stand, which I weight down with 2 50# bags of playsand. The cats no longer knock over the 8' tree (hooray 9' ceilings)
It's tree time tomorrow, so I should have some shots of the tree with the 3 orange&cream cats in it by the weekend.

This will be Smeagol's first year with a tree, should be delivered sometime next week. I think he's too fat to climb but I'm sure he'll attempt to chew through the electrical cord.

You can get a spiral wire cover to prevent chewing. And if it's an artificial tree, only one of my cats ever climbs those.

I would love a hybrid of this type of cat. I love the look and the build of them and the trademark ear spikes. |

Cute kitty. Was his name "Bob"? When I lived in the Rockies, it wasn't uncommon for mountain lions to wander into town and eat the local cats and dogs. That's why my kitties stayed indoors. |

The skunks have moved back to under the front porch, my cats have all been glued to the front window today watching. Oddly there seems to be 2 very small skunks with the 3 normal sized ones, so maybe they bred late this year. Either way, they'll have plenty of corn and sunflower seeds to fight the squirrels and woodchucks for. And it gives me an excuse to grill salmon and drop the skins down for them.

I love skunks. They're so cute and sweet. My sister gets a lot of skunks in at the rehap where she works and when they're young you can hold them and play and cuddle. Once they start getting older, you have to completely ignore them except when seeing to their needs. It's suggested you try not to even look at them and avoid handling them too much. The reason being that they get very attached to humans very quickly and it makes it rough on them when they're released. It makes me wonder if we were meant to domesticate skunks and leave cats to be aloof in the wild. I love my cats, but I could probably have loved my skunks just as much. I wonder if we fucked that up?

I had one get ten feet from hopping in my lap once. Thankfully it turned around and snuck off when I made a noise to get its attention. |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

The whole smell thing was probably the trump card. As bad as cats stink when spraying, it's nothing to Skunk musk. |

I had a friend in Texas who had a skunk, my then cat Beez was fascinated by it, used to spend hours just grooming and rubbing on the skunk, who was terrified of the cat for quite a while. It was a neutered/descented male, didn't even smell as strongly as a ferret. Was litterbox trained and seemed in general like having a clumsy, pointy, needy cat.
The skunks here are still well trained, as soon as the fish started cooking they started poking around the porch corner and making little keening and huffing sounds until the bits were dropped for them.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Last night Dancer picked up a new pastime: Diving into my jeans.
I'm doing my normal human bodily function thing, so my pants are down, and suddenly she's burrowing through my panties into the deepest recesses of my jeans she can manage. I'm laughing so hard I'm pissing myself (thankful I was in the proper spot for that). She did not want to give up that spot either, so I had to slip out of my pants which she proceeded to camp on for the next several hours. By slip, I mean not very gracefully exit, which she didn't seem to care about. These were now hers. She got up at one point to get some water, then went right back to them.
Then the little bugger did it again to my PJs when I was doing my nightly get-ready-for-bed ritual.
What the hell, cat?
