Who Says Indoor Cats Don't Get Exercise?

This one of those posts where you'll need to scroll down slowly.

This is my Christmas tree. Certainly not Rockefeller Center, but not bad (as long as we don't turn on the fan). See, the top looks ok, maybe a little ornament-heavy, but otherwise an acceptable tree.

Now start scrolling...

...until you get to the bottom.

Beads hanging down, ornaments on the ground, the train off the track...

If you look at the bottom left of the photograph, you'll see the source of all the chaos. A.K.A. The Hoodlum.

By the way, the reason the top of the tree is ornament-heavy is because we keep moving them there from the bottom, where dangling Drummer-boys and Snoopys are easy prey for little paws.

A closer view of The Hoodlum at work, along with his occasional accomplice:

You'll be pleased to know that the cats are getting along much better these days. Just witness this shot of Sammy hugging Peppercorn. See how happy Peppercorn looks? And how enthusiastically Sammy is hugging? Why, Sammy's so enthusiastic, it almost looks like he's trying to strangle Peppercorn. Oh yeah, he is.
