    Only advise I have is use unbreakable ornaments and take lots of pictures.
    I, myself, gave up on having a tree years ago. Something I do not regret, specially now with the terrible twosome: Chip and Chuck.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    I have not had a tree for many years as I know that the Kitten trio are steeplejacks by nature and they would all love to yell
    TIMBBEERRR!!!
    Karen's idea of reinforcing the tree sounds like the best solution to me!!!

    We have never used tinsel since I've lived with Bruce. He doesn't like it, and I know how it is for kitties. Growing up we used it all the time.

    I do like the idea of anchoring it to the wall with fishing line. I will have to have Bruce do that. It is in a corner so that would be super easy to do. It will also give me peace of mind for when we aren't home and I won't have to lock him up the whole time.
    So that's the solution!! Thanks so much Karen. Anchor the tree and use unbreakable ornaments. That's too bad, because we have clear glass bulbs for each member of the family (us and the pets) that I have written names and the year on with a silver sharpie. Oh well, they can come out later on after Jax is more calm (will that ever happen? LOL).

    I will do my best to have the video camera ready when Jax first discovers the tree. Hee hee
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I'm thinking that Tubster Panther could take care of this for you by himself ... or maybe with a little help from Miquelito?! I'm laughing as I picture this !

    Here I have 10 cats (11 up to Aug 2008) and never had a cat climb a tree, real or artificial. Maybe I have abnormal cats?

    Bat at the ornaments on the lower branches, oh yes. Even to th point of having them of and strewn around the house.
    Sit under the tree and doze? Definitely!

    Paws crossed, this year will be NO different around here.
