I brought my live tree in just minutes ago. So far, Juni was sniffing around the trunk for only a few minutes as I yelled at her very loudly. I think she knows now, when things may be off limits. The real test will be the decorations. I have never had a cat climb the tree. Juni may be the first. She is filled with adventure....but she is also learning that when I start yelling she needs to stop and RUN!
Fingers crossed for good luck for everyone with pets and trees!

When I was young we had a family cat who, as a kitten, climbed the tree. She brought the whole thing over and really frightened herself. She decided on her own not to climb it again. Every Christmas for the 21 years she was with us she slept on the packages under the tree. We made a special one big enough for her to snooze on each year and positioned just right so she could see what was going on in the house from her roost.
Well, I have half of the ornaments on the tree now, and so far so good. Juni has been a good girl. The REAL test will be when I leave for work tomorrow, for hours. I put the non-breakable items within her reach and didn't put ANY precious docorations out or on the tree this year. I rather like the tree with only a few ornaments on it. I usually try to fit them all on!
By the way, I nailed the tree stand to a piece of plywood before putting the tree trunk in the stand. I trust that will help keep the tree upright, in the event Juni decides to scale the tree.
Good luck everyone.
:rolleyes:
