3 cats + Christmas Tree + purposefully placed hand vacuum wrapped around tree trunk (it’s on, I unplug/plugin w/ cord dragged across the room!)= VERY FUNNY SCATTERING CATS (although, we all have puncture wounds from their attempts to climb walls, etc)… I… am… a… genius!
….I really didn’t think it through though… I don’t stop bleeding when punctured; it’s soooo worth it!
[NOTE: Update: Courtney came home on 12/24/13 and was sitting near the tree… and cats in the tree. Jeff turned on the vacuum. Apparently, it scatters kids too 😉 I’m just sorry I missed that! ]
