My Accidental Christmas Display

I don’t know why it’s cute, or why the colors ended up matching ever so nicely. I didn’t do this on purpose. The brown stand with the white blanket strips is a brand new cat-step-climber to go against the window. My cats HATE IT. They hated it by the window. They hate it everywhere. They won’t go on it at all. So I shoved it in the corner of my room. Hey I might take the white parts off and use it for extra shelves at the apartment. Or maybe a plant stand. Or book shelf. Frosty is moving with us too, so I just put him on that upper second shelf, (he sings and dances!) and then the bag on top, that has all my summer clothes. That’s how I packed. Just shoved a whole season of clothing into one bag. Why not? But for some wacky reason, this setup turned out kinda cute. It has that Christmas at the beach theme going.. Have you ever temporarily thrown things together in a corner because you didn’t know where to put them and then they ended up looking kinda nice instead of a big ole mess? The cat thing was a mistake, but it ended up being a favorite mistake. I can use it for so many other things. I like this - Frostly looks like he’s standing in real snow. Happy Weekend everyone SNL SNL SNL Oh you KNOW I’m gonna have to add a song to this one

Cats are very choosy about what they'll like or not like.

I figured out where all the hate was coming from and why Timmy becomes a hater whenever I attempt to buy him something new. When I moved out this way in the middle of nowhere, I only took 2 cat climbers with me, and left 2 behind. One of them happened to be his favorite. I didn’t know this, because he and his family would sit on all of them. The one in question that he is still angry about has a cowboy rope. Once I figured all this out, I searched endlessly online for another one, and could only find it at some “warehouse” site. It’s on the way here, looking to arrive on Christmas Eve. Thanks Judy, I might have pic

I do not like it by the window I do not like it in a river with minnows I do not like it here or there I do not like it anywhere! I do not, do not, like that stand Please put it in someone else's hands! Sorry, your post brought out the Dr. Seuss in me. Aren't happy accidents great? Frosty does look like he's standing in real snow, and the "life ring" kind of looks candy-cane-ish with it's red and white.

I WOULD NOT, COULD NOT IN THE RAIN. NOT IN THE DARK. NOT ON A TRAIN. NOT IN A CAR. NOT IN A TREE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM, SAM, YOU SEE. NOT IN A HOUSE. NOT IN A BOX. NOT WITH A MOUSE. NOT WITH A FOX. I WILL NOT EAT THEM HERE OR THERE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM ANYWHERE! Ironically, my Dr. Seuss collection will be filling one of those shelves. You nailed it! Thanks Stacey

Or maybe... the cats thought to let you use it this time for your Christmas deco. They'll claim it a bit later when you've tested and proven its sturdiness.
