Put up flocked tree.
Cats climbs tree.
Cat eats fake snow.
Google if flocking is harmful to cats.
“Flocking is poisonous to cats.”
Lock cats in bedroom.
Disassemble and re box tree.
Vacuum.
Order plain Christmas tree.

Apparently, although it’s only cellulose, ingesting too much fake snow can cause intestinal blockage in pets! New tree arrives tomorrow and we’ll try again.

@freedlistis I read about a pair of 6 year old cats who sadly died from sitting in the box with the stuff😫 Glad you got it out of there!

@freedlistis it's the most (holds squirt bottle menacingly) wonderful (cat climbs tree) time (squirt cat until it jumps out of the tree) of year.

@freedlistis it's amazing something that cute and small can be that much of a menace. This is our #ChristmasTreeTerrorist. This is her "But I haven't even done anything wrong, yet..." look.

@freedlistis ... Cat in locked bedroom, quietly reaches fake snow into shoes and shits under your pillow. Can't wait for the sequel.

@freedlistis Read it the 2nd time. Got it. Very funny! Except perhaps for the cats. Congrats. Nothing like being on the learning path that we're all on...
