Beginning to hate cats!

My cats are making me insane. Every night they get up to no good. Usually they tip over a kitchen chair or knock papers off the table or something, make some sort of mess. Well last night they out done themselves. They've tipped over my Christmas tree. It was laying on my living room floor on it's side with absolutely NOTHING left on it!! I feel like strangling them!!

Anyone want a few kitties?

Fried or boiled?

That's the only thing I don't miss about my FOUR cats back home, is the night-time antics and getting up to find the sheer horror in the morning of what it was you were hearing during the night.

The worse was when I had an important day, had layed out my best clean clothes, all nice and ready for the morning, only to find a little stinky present on top when i woke...

They almost died that morning but I couldn't justify killing four for something only one of them had done and I didn't have any way of finding out which one!

If it weren't for the fact that they belong to my kids...they would be sleeping in the barn..all four of them! At the moment..i feel like giving them back to my "best" friend. She took it upon herself to give my kids each a cat last Christmas. Why do people feel the need to give my kids the gifts that keep giving? lol The big cat had kittens this fall so now there are four.

Just like the Easter my mom gave my, at the time, 1 year old daughter a Rot/Lab puppy. She's had two litters of puppies! The gifts that keep giving...lovely

Weight down the Christmas Tree and spray the base of it with some of that "human can't smell it but cat hate it" spray.
Works for me and stops the little sods playing with it / knocking it over / climbing it.
If only that worked for my 2 year old...

Hmmm reminds me of Sunday mornings after a night out on the razz in my younger years

Well, if you're going to buy them a 6ft tall cat toy, what do you expect?

Close them in a room where they can do less damage, when you go to sleep. A friend of mine has 4 and she closes them in the kitchen for the night. That way any possible damage gets limited to one room.

Could you not make the kids sleep in the barn too? Then you could claim it would be unfair on the kids if the cats didn't sleep in the barn
