Still Have Your Christmas Tree?

If you haven’t set it out for recycle, word is they are great to…roll around on.

    I guess that’s what you call just lion around under the Christmas tree…

  2. banty says:

    Ahhhh, ye olde tree nip.

    • annette says:

      I wonder if it’s that, or that the needles make them feel like they’re getting a brushing. Maybe a combination of both.

    • woofy's ma says:

      Looks like it’s cat nip for that lion. He also doesn’t want to share! And, is it awfully noisy there or is it me? I don’t think the natural lion habitats are that noisy with the wildlife.

      • Blue Footed Booby says:

        Considering that i here a kookaburra in the background, I suspect you’re right.

        • Theresa says:

          Kookaburras are unbelievably loud. It’ s hard to believe such an enormous noise comes out of those birds.

  3. rescue gal says:

    Probably like a giant back scratcher for him. Although, I wonder if the needles get stuck in their fur?

  4. gizmo says:

    Now just who is going to volunteer to take it away from him to be properly disposed of? Hmmmm?

  5. sugitomo says:

    The dude’s very protective of his stash.

    “He rolls around in that blasted bush all day long…meanwhile, I gotta ask the neighbor’s kid to take out the dang trash. !”

  10. Anne says:

      • EllJ says:

        OMG– such gorgeous pictures of big kittehs and other assorted beautiful annimals!!! what a fascinating place to work/volunteer!!! lucky duck, tracylee :)

    • bookmonstercats says:

      I’m curious, though. Who would have first thought to give the big kitties their discarded Christmas trees? And why?

      • Yaya says:

        they probably had a little kitteh at home that liked to climb in the Christmas tree, so figured the big kitties would like them too!

  12. Emmm says:

    Introducing “Forest Green” – the preferred scent of the Big Cats.
    Now also available in “Garland Green” for kittehs…limited time offer.

      Maybe that’s why the wreath over the sofa got…..sampled!

      (I told her to hang it higher up, but did she listen?)

    This guy reminds me of my George. He rolls around on something if he likes the way it smells. Ironically, he isn’t into catnip though. He likes my friend’s cologne and will roll on her jacket if she sets it down. He loves my stepfather’s shoes, too. :-)

  14. Jeffray says:

    Momma lion is all “Make yourself useful, ya lazy bum! The neighbors are laughing at you! Wouldja – Hey! Stop that! Wouldja listen to me for once? *sigh* Why do I even bother?”

    • Rachael says:

      That is EXACTLY what she’s saying. Until she just walks away out of frustration and embarrassment. :)

      • phred's mom says:

        Interesting how we recognize her
        feelings. Some things are universal
        among species, right, girls?

  15. Lois says:

    He’s acting like he’s high on catnip

  16. Gretel says:

    Love the BeeGees hairdo as well!

  17. jen says:

    kitty’s been pining for a xmas tree.

  18. Saffron says:

    Well that is why I don’t have a Christmas tree in my house. It attracts lions!

    • dgerish says:

      That seems like a reason to GET one, in my opinion. I have a zebra-patterned jacket I wear in spring and fall in hopes that a mountain lion here in Kansas will try to pounce on me. No luck yet.

  19. Amy2 says:

    I did not know that catnip grew that big :D

  20. Sharon Wilson says:

    I knew kittehs liked to play with Christmas trees, but this is ridiculous!

  21. And this is why there are no pine trees left in Africa.
