And not a cat toy.
Errrr.
It was on the floor of the living room this morning, which I'm pretty sure is not where I left it last night.
so maybe?
Cool.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Aren't all Christmas tree ornaments cat toys? If not, my cat did not get the message.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
This is why I haven't put up my tree the last 4 years.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
That is why the good ornaments are carefully positioned away from cat-accessible areas, and the type of tree is selected for its ability to discourage climbing.

My parents tether theirs to the wall.
And since we're discussing cats, removing the Christmas tree does not seem to have stopped my roomie's cat. This morning the little fucker walked into my room (a first), sniffed at my cats' water and food bowls (right inside the door) and turned around and sprayed. In front of me. I yelled at him, but damn. Those Feliway plug-ins are starting to look more reasonable.
She'd give him another home, but who's going to take a deaf cat who sprays?

Once spraying starts, it's really hard to stop. I recommend getting Anti Icky Poo (yes, that's really its name) and dousing every area that has ever been sprayed. You can also use a UV light to look for pee stains to treat. We've had a lot of experience with this, sadly, since my elder cat occasionally has peeing/spraying issues, and the only things that have worked are the AIP combined with giving him time outside (contained). You should also make sure this cat has his own litter box that is kept meticulously clean, and Feliway may also help. Shelters will destroy any cat who sprays since they are seen as un-adoptable.

Kristin, thanks for the advice. I got a UV light recently and I've been using Petastic but I'll check out AIP. He does have his own box, and she does a pretty good job of keeping it clean.
