How do I make the Xmas tree not a cat tree?

Hee hee, the annual tree dilemma. I couldn't put up last year's fake tree because of Mystic (see photo) He bent the limbs too much and tore out a couple branches. So I took the old tree from work that has seen better days (so that if it happens again this year I won't fret)

All my ornaments are shatterproof. I had a small handfull of glass ones that broke, so the meaningful ones are locked away.

This year, I plan on doing a photo essay of what happens to a tree when cats get involved. As they de-decorate, I will not replace anything. It should be good for a laugh by Christmas!

That's what I was thinking of doing too! I took a picture before ornaments were put on, then after. And I thought I'd take a picture each week and see how it progresses. LOL We'll see if I actually do that though.

But I do not have as many ornaments as you. I only had 24 small shatterproof bulbs. Then I have bows and other ornaments I got from kids when I worked in day care. All of the breakable ones are still in the boxes.

When I am sitting watching TV I can tell when one of the cats is "munching" on the tree. The ornaments start to jiggle. LOL So far neither one of the cats have decided to climb it. But it has only been less than 24 hours.
