Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for December 04, 2022

It’s never much of a contest, at our house…

I’d be willing to bet on the cat.

It only took one time for me to learn to wire the tree to the wall. I also learned not to bother decorating the bottom two feet of the tree.

My money is on the tree. A 50:1 long shot, but if I win….. oh boy…

The cat.

Let’s get ready to “Rumble in the Jingle-Jungle”!!! With Fir-man against the fur man! What a “Thrilla with Catsilla”!

It all depends on which one Ninja Sloth will interferes and hits with a steel chair with before the referee can even know what’s going on.

The Christmas tree is a goner.

Fir versus Fur

Never underestimate a determined cat.

Maybe the tree?

I vote for the cat. Neither of my two cats however have ever bothered the tree, or so much as even looked at it.

The cat will definitely bring down the tree. But the winner will be determined by which way the tree falls and where the cat is when it comes down.

Timberrrrrrr

Just yesterday friends sent me a pic of their cat beneath the tree skirt.

I bet the kitty wins the purse!

Forget it. That tree doesn’t stand a chance

They’ll both be laying down by the end.

Should be a cage match…

Place your bets now guys and gals and Non-binary pals!

Cats won at my house. We don’t do a tree/

What if the tree scares the cat away with its bark?

Twist: It’s a Sudowoodo in makeup.
