Happy Monday everyone! Today is fun and games day, actually today is going to be take down the Christmas Tree day-maybe. I was thinking of putting all the ornaments away and maybe just leaving the tree with lights for a few more days being that it is artificial it doesn’t matter that much. Hubby would have me leave it up all year.
Newton and Pierre of Sometimes Cats Herd You ( http://catsherdyou.com/) recently posted about the fun of playing with straws. Its one of those simple things like milk jug caps and boxes, but kitties sure do love the simple things. They were lucky and had a bright orange one, I only had purple and blue, but the kitties didn’t seem to mind.

Have a great day everyone!
You could leave the tree up all year and decorate it for the current holiday. Valentine’s Day is next, so you could decorate it with all kinds of hearts. Straws are great!
That is a great idea- I could do hearts and some red ribbons- thank you.
Takin’ down the Christmas tree, huh? Peeps got ours up late so I’ve told ’em it should stay up late, too. I’m thinkin’… Valentine’s Day.
Purrs,

PS. Gonna show this post to my Peep #1. As soon as she gets the milk ring thingies from the containers, she cuts ’em in half (to protect wildlife) and puts ’em away. Gonna use this post to show her that the BEST way to recycle ’em would be as toys for us kitties. purrs
Yes, she should give them to you and your siblings. Tell her to toss you some straws too 🙂
We still haven’t seen any straws, but we know they are here!
You may have to take one out of someone’s beverage if they won’t just give you one 🙂
You are so right about the simple things – Mom is going to try me with a straw. I love twist ties and milk carton caps a lot too.
Let me know if you like the straw. Milk tops are fun 🙂 mini hockey pucks.
Simba, you said it! Twist ties are all the rage in our house, but I am careful to put them away, because Chuck has a tendency to eat things like that…
Oh yes! I love straws……Mom buys those “bendy” ones and they’re best!
Hugs, Sammy
Ours don’t bend 🙁 I will have to get them some of those too.
Leave da twee up wiff lights? We wuld luv dat. But mommy takes ours down wight after Christmas. Hav fun.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Lexi
Sorry your Mom took yours down so soon 🙁
My human has a whole bunch of straws hidden somewhere, I just know it, but so far she hasn’t shared any with me.
How very mean, I hope she gives you one.
Allie: *psst!* Asparagus spears are even MORE fun than straws! Cross my heart!
We grow apsaragus, when it comes in this year, I will give them some.
I like what Allie above said. Annie says to try celery leaves. Actually, she just likes to rub on the. I wish the kitties here liked simple things like milk rings or straws. Our cat Lucy loved milk rings.
How nice to leave your tree up for a while.
Our cat, Prancie loves celery too.
Rupert LOVES milk jug rings! Too bad we don’t drink milk…
Straws are pretty fun too!
Maybe a neighbor could save you some milk jug rings.
We undecorated the tree Saturday and then brought it down to the compactor room yesterday. I read somewhere that it was bad luck or something or take it down after the 6th but I don’t believe it.
OH NO! I am very superstitious so now I am scared. I am going to research that later.
We need some straws to play with.
Tell Mom to get you some, she couldd grab a couple at McD’s or Dunkin D’s.
Mum always takes our tree down on Twelfth Night. It looks bare with it gone, and I miss the dangly unbreakable toys around the bottom.
I should have taken mine down then, but I didn’t. I am sure you miss the extra “toys’ hanging around.
We too like straws and our decorations also are still up. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
I took down a bunch of Christmas stuff, but the tree is still decorated 🙂
We’d like to leave up Christmas decorations year round too! We’ve never tried straws, looks like you are having fun with them!
Tell your Mom to get you some straws, they are so fun.
Ralphie LOVES straws. He pulls them out of every cup he can find 🙂
That is funny – you need to get a photo of that 🙂
You know, I am a strange kitty. I am NOT a fan of milk caps like most cats, nor was my Grandpa Bobo. Mom won’t let me play with straws unsupervised because I try to eat them. Love, Cody
I am lucky none of mine tried to eat them-yet.
We love straws and Dad got us a box of bendy straws a few years ago. He thows a few out from time to time and we love them. Those small Chinese handcuffs are real fun too but do not hold up really well. Dad gets those at petsmart in the toy aisle for a buck

I will have to look for those for my kitties.
