the feline terror...

She arrived several years ago…tiny and scared. She hid for the first day. It wasn’t long until Jesika was pushing her around the living room in the Barbie limo. Chloe Kitty was riding in style! She grew quickly, as kittens always do, and developed quite a personality.

It was getting close to Christmas and the girls had taken great pains in decorating the Christmas tree. (You see where this is going don’t you?) Every ornament was in place and the lights were just right and the tree was lovely.

Enter Chloe…

At first, she just looked at the tree and checked things out. It wasn’t long until she was lying underneath it along with the presents. I guess she was channeling her “wild outdoor cat” side.

Then it happened….

We came home to find the tree toppled over and ornaments everywhere. Kylie righted the tree and painstakingly fixed the decorations and all was right with the world. However, after 3-4 times of this event occurring, Kylie threw her hands up and said “THAT’S IT!!!” She packed away the ornaments and lights and took the tree down and everything went back to the garage. We had a Christmas with no tree.

From that day forward, Miss Chloe Kitty became known as “Chloe, the cat who ruined Christmas!” lol

Chloe is still around. She’s now residing with Jes and her father in Arkansas. These days she is an outside cat who greatly enjoys sharing her food with the raccoons and chasing off dogs and rabbits and whatever creature that might venture into the yard. She gets occasional visits inside and enjoys every minute, stretching out on the back of the couch like she owns the place. When I see her, I call her “Chloe, the cat who ruined Christmas” and I swear she has a smirk on her face!
