Thread: Dexter Christmas Pics

Just luv Dexter,such a handsome boy,great to see him having fun,jealous of where he lives though,just fleeting glimpses show a lovely room & fire,just what I would wish for....

Did he wrap the Santa cap around his neck himself?
The other day we were in a DIY shop and they had fake christmas trees, unbreakable plastic decorations, LED lights, etc. Why o why couldn't I muster up the courage to ask hubby can we have one... pleezzz... for the kitties. Did I grow up in the womens' lib era or didn't I? Grrr...

The thing around his neck is a Christmas collar from petsmart. Just a fabric elastic covered with red and white fluffy fabric. He dosen't mind have it on, I am really suprised since this cat won't even tolerate a regular cat colar

Oh and BTW, Teddy broke his first glass decoration less than 15 minutes after my hubby put our tiny tree up. I feel like I am depriving him with my Charlie Brown sized fiber optic tree

We had to be very selective this year with the ornaments. We have used only plastic balls ans no hooks, used fabric tread to hang them. The first 3 feet are his christmas ornaments and are fair game for him to take down. We have used plastic balls, silver bells and real pine cone.

We just keep on putting them back on the tree, then the game start again.

Great pics we dare'nt have a christmas tree if the dogs did'nt knock it over Im sure the cats would

Great pics of Dexter - never noticed that little white tip to his nose before, how cute!

We put up our fibre-optic twig tree to see how the 'kids' got on with it and bearing in mind I didn't plug it in so it wasn't actually flashing, within seconds I had two MC's with their jaws clamped round a couple of branches, attempting to dangle off it. So, we scrapped the fibre-optic one and I bought a 6 foot pop up tree instead - it's worked perfectly! It's got no branches to speak of, just a spiral cone of dressed wire so when the cats put their paws on it the 'branches' all sway but the tree stays rigid. The swaying puts them off doing anything else with it. And it's pre-decorated so they can swot at the baubles all they like and none will fall off. Sounds like a minging Christmas tree but actually it's the nicest looking one we've ever had (partly because we're rubbish at dressing trees!) and may well survive Christmas. Which is more than can be said for the two straw reindeer sitting at the bottom of it!

No pics of the tree with the cats unfortunately (probably why it's still standing). They both seem to be more interested in gnawing at the two reindeer, the snowman and father christmas than the tree - I think the swaying aspect of the tree 'branches' has paid off! Couple of pics so you can see what the tree looks like as requested - it's clearly not real but most of the baubles were pre-attached so the cats would have to utterly demolish the tree to get them off! Wicca's swatted at one particular purple bauble quite near the bottom but it was a pretty pathetic effort - she clocked the reindeers nose and got distracted by that!

If you're after a really nice Christmas tree, this is not the tree for you. If you're looking for quite a nice Christmas tree, including decorations, that 's been MC proofed, look no further...

Wow... that tree is so obviously OTT fake I think even my hubby the Christmas tree hater could appreciate it... just for the heck of it.
But I'm afraid it's a no go this year... we just had a very nasty roof leak (luckily not as bad as the flood in your place) and the living room is a bit of a mess.
Who knows, perhaps next year.
