and cabbages and Kings.....no, sorry...got carried away there. I have just learnt a valuable lesson regarding Xmas tree lights and kittens.....they do not make a happy couple. Now the little fiend dear is sucking them....a fence won't keep her out, she is too adept at climbing other shelves/furniture/people to reach her goal.A water pistol is likewise not a good idea...any other ideas and will she electrocute herself or is the voltage too small?And would anyone like a kitten?
