Iggy is never anything but adorable. And Elvis makes a great defense lawyer. But wake me when Ora Zella does her cliff dive from the top of the tree onto her next victim.
Panel three would make a sweet ornament. Now that I think of it, Iggy himself is a sweet tree adornment! Let him stay and spread peaceful Christmas vibes.
I agree with Elvis. Poor Iggy is only following his kitty instincts, after all. Why tantalise him with a big Douglas Fir if it’s only meant for decoration? ❤ See, Ora Zella agrees!
I just had to say! I went shopping with hubby at the mall today and I was wearing my Lupin “Let’s Do This!” backpack and got like ten compliments for it!! I did A LOT of advertising for BCN this afternoon! :D
We have two new cats this year who are fascinated by the tree, but I’ve been amazed at how little damage they do – I don’t think they’ve even dislodged an ornament so far.
Has Puck not taught Iggy the Purrfect Christmas Tip of tossing ornaments down from the tree so the People will have the fun of redecorating every morning?
Today is my 58th birthday. I remember that fifty years ago my 8th birthday was also on a Sunday and that I watched a Tom and Jerry cartoon called Part Time Pal.
Beaver Lee Cleary: So the problem there are plenty of spaces, (cockney accent), but no way to get them to their destination.
Amon-Merchant: Exactly, Bev. Trevor-Hotep has a great harvest from the Cosmo Nursery, and the Good Ship Red Planet Spider is putting into port here at the Afar Harbor. But Snowfall Braggart has control of the roadways.
Bev: I think I may know how to help. What do you think, Wicket?
Wicket: I have a whole of crew of Temple Owls who will be glad to fly the spice supply anywhere you want.
Azibo: Really? That’s wonderful!
Wicket: I’ll have a whole contingent here by tomorrow. Thomios and Floof will have all the spaces (cockney) they need.
Beatrixia: And now to other matters. What are the new scrolls you found, Bev?
Bev: Well here is a scroll by Timotheus the Tool Cat, Building Shelves Even a Siamese Would Approve Of. And the first edition of Better Pyramids and Oasis Cook Scroll. Where did Iggy go?
Iggy: I’m up here. I think I see a new way to design book shelves that I’ll need to show Wally (Awhil-Fixit the Seventh) and Iron Glove.
If giving someone an opening to do something they shouldn’t do but ended up doing anyway is “entrapment”, then boy howdy do I have a bunch of potential lawsuits!
This is something you just sort of have to expect when you have both a Christmas tree and cats in the same house. :P
At least that appears to be a real tree, which I’ve heard can handle cats climbing them okay. An artificial tree is more likely to give way under the weight, since they weren’t necessarily built with a cat sitting in it in mind.
Yesterday was Earl Grey’s Gotcha Day. He has settled in quite well this last year. Hubby and I are progressing well in our training by him… He seems mostly satisfied in our ability to care for him!
I just saw a cat video where the family decided to let the cat in the tree because he only wanted to nap and didn’t bother the decorations. The Woman could learn from this.
OT:Happy News. My Chimney sweep fixed my damper. Even reengineered it a bit so it won’t drop again. Came from the other side of town, quite a drive, and charged me $20. So he’s my hero of the day! I was expecting quite a lot more.
It is cute. I mail out a Christmas card with Wilamena peering out from inside a Christmas tree. However, lightweight kittens become heavy cats between seasons. “Good cat” training has to be consistent and started early. Don’t worry. You can’t break a kittens heart; it will find something else to do very soon.
So far none of our present cats have tried to climb the tree. MrrrCavity is older and quite heavy, so he doesn’t do much “up.” Skeezix doesn’t seem to be much of a climber. I don’t think Holly has thought of it … yet. Years ago I put a medium-sized screw eye in the ceiling above the tree location. We used a green twist tie from there to the top of the tree. Since all our trees fit our 9 foot ceiling, the anchor is hardly noticeable. We also have a tree stand that weighs about 15 pounds.
OT:Busy season. Tomorrow I have to go get my Covid shot, finally, and take an iron test for the RLS treatment. I’ll be up all night studying for that one.
I have a computer again! On Tuesday it wouldn’t turn on so I had to take it to Best Buy. Turned out it needed a new processor. Luckily, I had enough points and gift card so it only cost me $15.

Iggy in that third panel looks so peaceful. Reminds me of that line from “Sweet and Low” by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
“While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.”
Come on woman, he’s not hurting anything. Let the little one sleep.

Elvis, you’ve never slept in a tree in your life. And, I hate to break this to you, bud, but yo don’t live in the wild.

Rock a bye Iggy, in the tree top,
When Woman finds you, she’ll tell you, “Stop,”
When she is gone, back up there you’ll crawl,
‘Cause you’re just a Kitten, and very Smol.

Four crinkle balls
Three French pens
Two catnip mice
And an Iggy in a Vegas tree.
