haha - I can so relate to the cat thing....we have 3. Our old girl is just too lazy to climb the tree, but our boys will in a heart beat...We had an artificial one that was several years old - but really nice and full, but it was the kind that you had to put each branch in a little hole....nothing like spending hours on a tree only to come home from work and find branches on the floor with strings of lights still attached. After a 22 lb cat sits on a tree branch it never is quite the same UGH!!
Last year I bought a new one with the branches attached and they didn't seem to bother it....well now in the girls spare time they like to chase the cats so I'm thinking I'll be having a cat in the tree at least once this year. Luckily I put the tree in the corner, put some twine around it and tie it to a hook behind it so it won't tip over. |
