I can't believe they were up in the tree.<BR/><BR/>I have two toddlers, three dogs and one cat and so far so good with the tree.<BR/><BR/>A few years ago my cat chewed on my tree but she eventually stopped and hasn't tried this year. There has been no batting of the ornaments either. The kids have touched a few things here and there but so far so good. <BR/><BR/>The dogs haven't touched it this year so far. Last year I made the mistake of putting down the skirt and presents and the dogs peed on it constantly. I had thought I'd cleaned it up but afer christmas when I took everything away, there was tons of pee under the skirt (it was plastic) So this year, the dogs sleep in the bedroom and the skirt and present won't go there till christmas eve.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04013633281843747712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692904496256051846.post-57342295980152804032008-12-17T23:20:00.000-05:002008-12-17T23:20:00.000-05:00bad, bad kitties. those pictures are priceless.

Years ago, I had a couple cats, and one year my roommate told me that one of them had climbed the tree, but I have no proof of it. Both loved to sit and bat at the lower ornaments, so we didn't put them on the lowest branches, or we put unbreakable ones (satin balls are perfect). The other cat just loved to lay under the tree, right up against the tree stand. I would have to move him every night to water the tree (only a real tree for me).ChicagoLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023674166511200133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692904496256051846.post-32217405370561409882008-12-17T21:01:00.000-05:002008-12-17T21:01:00.000-05:00The pics of kitty in the tree reminds me of "Chris...The pics of kitty in the tree reminds me of "Christmas Vacation"... he he he!<BR/><BR/>Our tree is up and decorated.

I can so relate. When I was younger, I used to have a cat that would sit in the tree. You'd be on the phone and suddenly come eyeball to eyeball with a cat in the tree! Hehe. I don't put any ornaments past a certain height on the low levels, because Tigger (though he doesn't tree climb) - will bat at the ornaments (and eats the fake green pines!) and Pebbles (Greg's dog) - doesn't have good eyesite and runs into the bottom branches - so I keep those clear of ornaments. I LOVE Christmas, but each year, I hold my breath to see what cat-tastrophy will come to what ornament or decoration!Aletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605214202876973830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692904496256051846.post-19173257570099088892008-12-17T14:52:00.000-05:002008-12-17T14:52:00.000-05:00My kitties are content to just lay under the tree ...My kitties are content to just lay under the tree and be happy.

The cat knew it existed but was never allowed near it unless I was in the room with her. Now, in Va, I dont have a spare room to set it up in so it's still sitting in storage. It'll be there next year too as I simply dont have the space for it. Im hoping the next place is a bit roomier or else there's gonna be alot of stuff that isn't presently being used in the storage area instead of my tree!!LadyStyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17020724106526697135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692904496256051846.post-48923929051811309852008-12-17T11:37:00.000-05:002008-12-17T11:37:00.000-05:00Looks like you got some great help with your tree....Looks like you got some great help with your tree.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09909347991642318569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692904496256051846.post-77325538666297880422008-12-17T11:36:00.000-05:002008-12-17T11:36:00.000-05:00They are sooo cute!

Naturally curious, she was right by my side while I was putting it together. She tasted it once and that was it. Now she loves to lie on the tree skirt and watch the lights. She is only about a year old and still has a lot of frisky in her, but she is such a good girl around the tree.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057300751677082169noreply@blogger.com
