Christmas Tree

Has anyone figured out what the fascination is about the christmas tree?  Not even just the tree itself- mainly the tree skirt.  One sleeps on it and the other does what I call the "Rabbit". He grabs it with his front paws and kicks his back feet like a rabbit.  He loves to do it with his tennis ball too.  What is it with these goofy creatures?

May be the bright colors that get their attention. It doesn't take much to get a cat's attention, especially if it's a new thing in the house. We don't have Xmas trees set up all year, so when they get to see a new shape with colors, well they want to investigate, play with it, and possibly mess it up to see what it is all about.

I am so insulted right now. My cat doesn't even look at my tree. I am starting to think that my decorations are not right, or good. Is this normal? All the cats at MH are attracted by Xmas trees, except mine.   :(

Probably is attractive because it is "new" and provides a good hiding place for the cat to play. If there is anything hanging, then the cat has some "toys" to knock down and bat around.

We aren't having a tree this year for some reason...
