Christmas catastrophe!
Before decorating our Christmas tree, I kept teasing my
cat, Mittens, with our shiny tree topper. The gold star
would catch the light, sending gleams acr
that my cat tried to chase. My mom war oss the wall
it, but I didn’t understand why it was such a big deal ...ned me to stop
until we finally put the star on the tree. Mittens saw a
glimmer on the ceiling and started climbing up the tree
to grab the light. He made it about halfway up the tree
before the entire thing toppled over! Mittens was okay,
but a few ornaments cracked and I got a lecture
from my mom. I now know my cat is
determined to tease! way too

crazy catastrophes!
Totally
embarrassing!

Yikes!
You’ll never live
