Deceptive Ninja

Cats are deceptive.  Their countenance can become angelic and gentle literally seconds after a demon possession that has them shredding your expensive wool area rug.  And if the appearance is not enough to erase your memory, they turn on the blood pressure lowering purr.

This year I decorated a Christmas tree for the first time in two years.  I did so with trepidation because all my ornaments are glass.  The morning after, the angel tree topper was lying disheveled on the floor with her halo a foot away.  I have a seven foot tree.  I have no concept how, but one of my ninja felines managed to scale the tree without dislodging, let alone breaking, a single ornament, remove the angel, whack her presumptuous-self around the room a few times and leave her face down on the living room floor.  There have been no more incidents.
