Can you have a Christmas tree if you have cats? Sure, with a bit of diligence.
Yes, You Can Combine Christmas Trees and Cats (Creature Thoughts Nov/Dec ’25)
In the USA, Thanksgiving is nearly here. Once that holiday is past (and, in some households, even before), people start thinking about Christmas decorations. (Or, at least, those do who celebrate that holiday.) In homes occupied by pets, that indulgence may require added precautions.

A Visit from the Past; Sept/Oct ’25 Creature Thoughts
I was searching in my old Blogger archives this morning, looking for inspiration for this month's newsletter. I actually was searching for something totally different, but happened across the issue I'm quoting below. As I looked at the date, saw the opening lines, my heart nearly stopped.
