Cats & Christmas Tree's... How does THAT work???

[N F C]

Well I've gone a full week into 'Christmas #2 With Cats' & the tree still stands.

I've found some really cute, fancy, glass egg ornaments that I'm tempted to get. Am I'm being too optimistic? Probably.

Pretty ornaments Roomy!

I'm waiting another week to try the Christmas tree here. But I did get some tissue (the gift wrapping kind) out and the 3 cats are having a blast with that.

The tissue has been a big hit here too. Also wadded up balls of wrapping paper. I don't know why they like it. The crinkly sound I guess.

Hey @room onthebroom

While you're on Amazon, type this in the Search box:
ugly Christmas sweaters with pugs

How about an ugly pug sweater with sequence & 3D Santa hat? (Pugly!)

lets all chip in and get that for Sour - you know he pretends to hate Pugs, but I don't believe him. Besides one on a sweater won't makes messes in the house, or snore or whatever it is that Pugs do.

Mine have already been shredding the Christmas wrap still on the roll. I am still decorating the tree. Plastic balls go on the bottom. I have been crimping the hooks around the branches, trying to keep the balls in place.

My answer to cats destroying Christmas trees - is get a dog instead(female or castrated male) Ta dah!!

Total and utter destruction, we had one cat, she passed a few years back now, she would destroy the Christmas tree and any presents under it.

Her first Christmas with us, she was about 8 months old, she wasn’t too bad, everything came out unscathed. But her second Christmas, oh my Lordy, one night she got into the tree and had an absolute ball. We got up the next morning to find tinsel and baubles all though the house and the tree was toppled over and practically bare.
we replaced it all, and she would just rip it off again, quite often she would get under the tree and scale to the top of it.

The presents under the tree, were all ripped open and the paper destroyed. All had to be re-wrapped, and NOT placed back under the tree. To wrap any presents, you had to lock her out of the room whilst you did it, or she would destroy that paper too

Tips for decorating a tree when you have cats

DONT be lazy like my lot were and just decorate the front of the tree, wrap the tinsel ALL the way round, all the cat can do then is pull the tree over.

When adding the Baubles, wrap the ties/ribbon around the limb a few times, hard to pull, bat, swat/rip off then.

Presents under the tree - just don’t bother. Under The tree is now just for the dog and cat to sleep apparently

BUT at the end of the day it was a laugh to see how much destruction one small cat could do

@Oz chic that's why I'm not bothering this year with 3 indoor cats! (But I did enjoy your story )
