This thread really made me smile. We had a calico cat named Susie who was a wonderful cat. One Christmas we left for a few hours but left her with extra treats, litter box etc. When we got home she had totally dismantled our 8 foot tree. It never tipped over and she had to have climbed clear to the top. Months later I was still finding the Christmas balls under beds and in remote locations. Nothing was broken. She was calmly sleeping on her pillow when we came home and acted like she didn't know a thing about the bare tree.
