My human actually had the Christmas tree out of the closet the day after Thanksgiving. But she has been lax about trimming it. She got it partway done before we left for Portland. So now that we are back, I decided I’d better help her out.
For reasons too lengthy to get into, she doesn’t have any actual heirloom ornaments. Unless you count the ones she got herself in the early 1990s. They do date back over 25 years, so that is pretty vintage! I told her which ones to put on the tree next.
You probably figured that she had quite a few cat ornaments.
Some of them she acquired more recently, like this one. She found several that featured a mischievous calico cat a few years ago. The cat before Binga and Sparkle was a calico, and was a very special cat to her, so she got them.
Don’t worry, I don’t play with the ornaments. Actually, neither did Binga, if you can believe that! And Boodie just doesn’t care.
With my help, my human got a lot done with the tree before going out to meet a friend. There are still more ornaments to put up, but it is looking good already!

You are a very good helper Summer.
Beautiful!
Summer, great job, it looks beautiful
So beautiful and festive! The kitty ornaments are a must!
It looks especially pretty with you posing beside it! Kisses.
What a beautiful tree – thanks for bringing us along on the trimming.
MK does not decorate for the holidays, so we live vicariously through other people that do. MK had to stop putting up a tree because one of her Abys, Feisal, kept climbing up at every year!

Beautiful tree!! It’s great all of you choose not to climb the tree or play with the ornaments. Razzle-Dazzle has climbed the tree and Django and Razzle-Dazzle have remove all the ornaments from the bottom of the tree. Zoee and I just love the warmth of the lights and like to sleep under the tree. Oh well the Christmas party is over so hoomin just chooses to leave the ornaments under the tree.

Such a pretty tree – the prettiest ornament is the one UNDER the tree – YOU!!
Hugs, Teddy
Beautiful tree! We only get a little one, and Glitter just can’t leave it alone, silly girl.
Wow Summer. The tree is magnificent. I had a special Calico too. My Callikit was my baby 20 years. I miss her dearly. I miss Binga too. My girls don’t bother my two trees. They just sit under them
What a gorgeous tree, with that pretty Summer Samba as the model. XXXX
Your tree looks beautiful, Summer!
What a great picture of you showing off that tree. Excellent supervising job.
It sure does look good, Summer! Our mom’s decided not to risk our tree again (for the 45th time in a row).
Gorgeous tree Summer!
Your tree is beautiful. Great job helping your human.
You’re both doing an amazing job!
That’s a gorgeous tree Summer. We love that it is filled with so many loving ornaments. It’s so surprising that none of you girls want to actually climb it, MOL. Olivia starting climbing as a wee kitten. Maybe it’s a black cat thing, MOL. Great job surpurrvising the setup Summer. Purrs
Summer I love the first ornament you selected.
You and your human decorated it beautifully
Hugs Cecilia
oh your tree is lovely! So pretty! Can’t believe no one swats those off! My first husband was Catholic and I used to decorate for Christmas. We had a tree and my Bobo used to knock that tree down every…single…day………it actually was funny!
that’s a great looking tree!
What a beautiful tree! Well done, Summer, helping your human!
Love the kitty ornaments. Calico cat ornament is so sweet. xo
NIce job, Summer! That’s a lovely tree!
We’re trimming ours tomorrow.
Purrs,
Tama and Genji
Of course she needed your help – that’s why it wasn’t already
finished. You both did a nice job – looks real pretty. Most
certainly it was expected there would be a lot of “cat”
ornaments . Someone needs to design a “somali cat” ornament!
Excellent job of snoopervising, Summer!
GORGEOUS! And the tree looks great, too.
Purrz!

That photo of you by the tree is spectacular. Nice work!
Your tree sure is pretty sweet Summer, you and your human did a terrific job of decorating!
The tree looks beautiful, Summer. Thanks to all your help.
You and your human did a good job of decorating! It’s really pretty.
The tree looks lovely. Your human is lucky that none of you ever played with the ornaments.
Flynn used to climb the inside of the tree, and one year when I took it down again I found one of the feather coated robins had been relieved of it’s feather coat and was just a bald plastic shell. Eric used to try and climb the outside and invariably pulled it over. They had their own unbreakable decorations at low level.
It looks beautiful. Wonderful collection of kitty ornaments!
It’s beautiful, Summer!
