A Cats tree-choosing guide
1. Sniff the tree to see if it’s friendly.
2. Rub up against the branches to test the trees health. (if it’s shedding needles, move on)
3. Race around the tree and watch its reaction to your antics (if it sways in amusement, it's a good sign)
4. Bat at some branches to checks the tree's sense of playfulness.
5. Stretch out on a bough to test the tree's strength.
6. Hold onto a branch and swing back and forth like an ornament. (If the tree oozes sap onto your paws, it's unhappy)
7. Put your paws around the lower part of the trunk and give the tree a hug. (Does it feel as though you are hugging a familiar forest friend?)
8. Gently scratch at the bark to see if the tree enjoys it.
9. Curl up under the tree and close your eyes. Use your intuition to sense how protective the tree feels towards you.
10. Claw your way up the trunk and try to balance on top like a star. (If the tree doesn't shake you off, bring it home-this tree's for you.)
