I am able to put up a tree and thankfully no kitty tries to climb it or destroy it. I do have Smokey, Gracie, Gabriel and Mystic who like to try to eat the limbs.

My mom on the other hand puts up a tree but we have to anchor it to the wall. The year that my grandmother passed away I helped her to put up the tree and two days later at midnight she called crying hysterically because the cats (she has 8) had taken the tree down and dragged it to the basement...ever since that year we have anchored it to the wall.
