5. My previous cat, Boots, loved to lie under the Christmas tree.

She never batted the ornaments or climbed the tree or chewed the wires or otherwise disturbed the tree. She just liked sleeping under it.

My two now, Martini and Holly, liked to rip open the tree skirt and drink the Christmas tree water, even though they got fresh water in their bowl twice a day. They also liked to knock the ornaments off the tree. I'd come home from work and there would be ornaments all over the living room. I finally put the ornaments I didn't like so much at the bottom of the tree.

I haven't put up a tree in the past several years so I don't know how they'd react now.
