When I was about 5, the house we lived in had originally been a carriage factory/showroom, living quarters upstairs, and had 10' ceilings. Two big picture windows in front where the carriage doors had been, and a big wooden staircase on one side to get upstairs. We always had a tree to fit, and it went up next to the staircase. We also had my first pet, a huge cat named Boots, because he had 7 toes on 3 feet, and 9 on the fourth- did I mention he was huge? So my mom is working on the decorations, on her little 4' household ladder- Boots is on the stairs, and thinks she wants to play- so he launches his 25 lbs into the tree at about the 8' level.

She gets more upset when I take Boots upstairs and hide him, taking her threats very seriously, and in my 5 yr. old wisdom, I locked him in my sister's closet instead of mine, thinking she'd find him too easily in mine, and then went and got the neighbor. About the time we got mom extricated from the wall/tree, my dad came home and started laughing his a$$ off, which redirected mom's venom from Boots to dad- good thing, too, I really loved that cat
