Timber

Well Smokey really did it this time. I was laying on the couch yesterday watching TV when Smokey began running around the house like crazy. This is a normal and regular occurrence so I thought nothing of it. All of a sudden Smokey decided to climb my seven foot high weeping fig tree! She got three quarters the way up the tree and before I could jump up from the couch gravity took over down came the tree, cat and an ancient Christmas cactus (at least 35 years old) Smokey immediately ran out to hide under the bed. The clay pot was in smithereens and the potting soil was spread over the entire living room carpet. Smokey came through fine but both the tree and cactus lost a couple of branches. It took at least an hour to clean the mess and repot the tree. Never a dull moment.
