We had our first Christmas tree in our new house with gifts and the whole thing decorated. One night we both said that our kitty sure has taken a liken to the orinaments and the tree. Well a week before Christmas day we were watching the tube with the cat under the tree staring up it from underneath and I noticed the orinaments were moving. Thought it was the beer til the cat tried to climb our tree. There was a mouse in the tree. I couldn't shake it out and I tried helping kitty up from the bottom that didn't work so I went out and got my old Air rifle loaded with a pellet on 2 pumps. Pop I shot and I missed the darn mouse went up higher. The pellet stuck in our wall. I loaded another and shot. Like a pine cone bouncing down a tree down fell the mouse kitty scooped it up and took off to her room and out I went for plaster and the matching paint can to patch up the 2 small pellet holes in our wall. We all got gifts that year even kitty!!!!
