1. Purr-felt!

That cat is having a grand old time.

2. I had to learn how to safely decorate the tree when we got our new cat, Foggy.

He loved the shiney ornaments and I lost several of my really good ones. So, I learned! Now the shiny ones go near the top and the wooden ones near and at the bottom. He's not nearly as interested in those. Last year he only knocked/pulled down one of them - a new low! This year we are in a new house so the tree won't be in the middle of the front bay window (it's too high) but will be in a corner. Hopefully he'll ignore it even more this year!

3. My daughter has three cats. She hangs garlic and small onions in the lower branches of

her Christmas tree. The cats really avoid it.

4. Hmm, might have to try that! Hopefully he'll mostly ignore the tree like he did last year.

It's a new house, but we put up the tree yesterday and he totally has ignored it . He's not even laying underneath it like he usually does. We'll see what happens when I finish decorating the tree - just started this morning. Hopefully at 9 years old now, his interest has permanently waned. We'll see.

6. purrr-fect. When I had furry companions and trees, I used styrofoam,

plastic, and other non-breakable ornaments on the trees, which stood in heavy wrought iron stands. My hand-blown Italian glass ornamments sat in large, heavy glass bowls on the table. Never had to worry.
