Loved the picture, especially as this is yet another year for me with no tree... My partner doesn't like trees, thinks they should be left growing in the ground, and I don't see the point of a fake one. So we have one year on, one year off. That's the theory anyway. But, we've been adopted by an abandoned kitten every year since we moved into this apartment. And young cats and Christmas trees are a recipe for disaster sooner or later. Two weeks ago we had a beautiful black female move in. She is absolutely gorgeous. Whoever lost her must have been devastated. Most of the other cats we've taken in aren't terribly good with people, having been chased from garden to garden before coming across us. But this black beauty is really friendly and loves a cuddle, so she must have been treated well. Nobody has called in response to our posters round the neighbourhood so it looks like she's staying. So no Christmas tree, again. But to be honest, I'm not sorry to have the cat instead.
