We've always had Cub Scouts come around and pick up trees for a $5 donation, but they didn't this year. I wonder why...?
We didn't dare put up a tree this year, the kittens would have had a field day. They're slinky little climbers, with a full set of climbing claws, and would really need to see what the view would be from the top.
I can see them now, leaping down on Tomas from above..."KOWABUNGA!"
Maybe your city is picking them up, too? Last year the city didn't pick up at all, so I figured the boys could make some money cutting trees up this year ... but the city beat us out!
Maybe your cats will have settled down next year.
