Riddle me this, Batman

Why do cats eat tinsel off the Christmas tree?
It makes them barf tinsel and shit tinsel, yet they continue to eat it, presumably while we are in bed, because I have never caught them in the act.
I clean up cat yak every single day and then remove a little more tinsel from the bottom branches of the tree; right now the lowest third has NO tinsel whatsoever and it looks kind of silly.

I guess maybe the real riddle is why do I PUT tinsel on the tree!??!?!

  6. Your blog is delightful. Your post about your cat made me laugh, my cat used to eat the tinsel off the tree. Luckily my dog doesn't. And the answer must be that you like the tinsel as much as the cat does(well maybe not quite as much).

  7. We quit using tinsel after we discovered our cat had a string of it hanging out her butt. Thought I forgot about it...now I just can't get that image out of my head.
