Christmas Decorations: How to avoid cat attacks?

[MrsBertMacklin]

I'm going shopping for baubles etc. at the weekend.

I'm going to be avoiding tinsel, glass decorations, anything with feathers or other trailing bits that will present the temptation to attack.

Any other tips? Other than buying BertCat a gravity belt?

I put baubles with bells in around the bottom of my tree. It doesn't stop them, but it gives me some warning when they're having a go at the tree! Xx

Ohfuckit. Apparently I confused Mumsnet with texting DH. Please ignore the inappropriate kisses

"tales of what happens to naughty kittens who climb and dismantle Christmas trees"

Nothing happens to them, they still get a stocking and the best cuts of meat on christmas day.

You could do what these people did.

Well that makes the rest of us look a bit lacklustre quite frankly.

This year we will be having a Christmas scratching post.
This is because the kitties have bent my airer, played with the hairdryer (and dragged it across the floor), lost DH's wedding ring, played on the bin, got a paw stuck in the laundry basket, opened their own spaying wound and hidden my contraceptive pill.
No Christmas tree.

Loli read Wolfie's post. Forget the tree .

Obie is gorgeous! Here is Madam Grumpy under the tree last year. Eyeing things up. I'm dreading the havoc Little Goof will cause. He's like an American Frat Boy .

Ah cats and trees. Our cat isn't too fussed but she is 13 but no tinsel can go on our tree as she likes to nibble it...
When I was about 7 we got a kitten and a real Xmas tree, my parents couldn't work out why the tree would not stand straight until we realised said kitten was in the tree. She spent a lot of time up that tree and it was bald by Xmas day.
