Yeah, I can’t imagine either of my cats being good enough to do that, but it was adorable watching someone else’s do it. Thanks for sharing! ---

My cat would last for about five seconds into this. Then he’d attack. ---

MY cats always undecorate the Xmas tree as their part of the holiday celebrations. ---

The cat looked like one of my past cats named Domino. I could totally see him doing that - for about five seconds. 😛 ---

> [@Asimovian](#): > > Cute cat. A little slow, but very cute. 🙂 I think it’s a old cat - he looked kind of wobbly on his pins when he walked over. Still, our Maxie has arthritis and isn’t moving too great, and there is no way she’d lie still for that - there would be blood. ---

I agree, I had a cat when I was a kid and she’d never allow me to do that to her ---

My boy dog would absolutely allow that. He’d just sit there with his big, trusting, melty eyes. The girl isn’t bright enough.
