It helps that our tree is fake. When our RB Rascal and still-present Onyx were tiny kittens 12 years ago they did have an avid interest in the tree, but they outgrew it quickly. I've not had young kittens again until this year (actually we did have Millie and Abby last year but we went out of town at x-mas so we didn't even bother with the tree) and this is our first x-mas in our new home so we intend to put the tree up this year, so this is new for them, plus our latest addition, Cleo. We have no breakable ornaments, but still !! I question if the tree will be standing at the end of the day
