It finally happened.. Some two plus years in the making... A loud crash and some flurry of action and it was all over.. That's right. little miss speedo Skootr the cat while attempting to climb her tree had it crash out from under her.. Yeah it was bound to happen and the fact it hadn't before now is a testament to the engineering to keep it upright.. So much bailing wire and glue.. Well not so much bailing wire so much as a shitload of glue. I think it was about a year ago I took it apart and cleaned it up and then put it back together gluing each piece together hopping that we might prolong the life of the tree for a few weeks maybe a month or two.. I think it lasted close to a year but it was sure to fall.. Mom pointing out that the two cd spindles that I had taped together were starting to fail, and the upper level post was really nearly done.. There was no quick fix this time, the tree is on it's last pins.. I was hoping we would be here when it came down and luckily we were.. It fell towards the freezer and did no or very little damage to anything but the cats ego.. Now we look for a new tree.. Happy kitty?? Hope so..
