Mildy off-topic:
The wife loves chachkies. She has several dozen smaller figures-dollies of holiday cartoon figures. She uses them to loaf under the Christmas tree.
Well, this year the tree came with a packet of stuff to keep the tree fresh, but, it also carried a dire warning against letting pets drink the tree water.
So, the chachkies are all inna picket-line (ADAPT-style) guarding the base of the tree from Kringle cat.
