Even though one of its masters - Janette - is not going to tell it again, the 6lb animal nevertheless continues to navigate its way up and down the Christmas tree - inadvertently knocking off several baubles and lights along the way.
"Terrence! Get down from there," yelled 32-year-old Janette. "How many times do I have to tell you?... get!"
Despite the best efforts of both Janette and her 34-year-old husband Clark, Terrence routinely climbs the tree at five minute intervals and is believed to have played a key roll in the displacement of a line of tinsel this past Monday.
