The 12 days of the Christmas Cat Tree

The Christmas Gnome putting the finishing touches to his creation.

This has been a work of the heart:
first, select a branch
second, cut down said branch
third, fall off ladder (don't tell wife till 2 days later)
fourth; strip the bark
fifth; cut branch to size
sixth, order fake leather in GB and import in hand luggage
seventh, cut platforms big enough for Maine Coons
eighth, cut leather "hammocks"
ninth, pin hammocks to platforms
tenth, find sheepskins of right size and colour
eleventh, decorate with Christmas presents for family
twelfth, have a glass of wine or two!

Christmas is getting merrier and we haven't even got the cat yet!
