While my cats have never climbed the tree, I always anchor it to the walls. I think Tobias would have climbed it if I had him at the time the Christmas tree was up....he was a little devil.

My mom on the other hand has many pictures of her furkids in the tree. I will never forget the year that my grandmother died and I helped mom put up the tree. It looked so beautiful. My grandmother always collected beautiful bulbs and we put each and every one of them on the tree. I received a call 2 days later at around 1 am. My mom works second shift so when she got home she called me......It seems that when she walked into the basement of the house the tree was down there. I could barely understand what she was saying but when I went over the next day I could see what she was saying. The artificial tree was in fact in the basement, in pieces. Seems that the 8 furkids had one heck of a party while she was working and they took the tree apart limb by limb, then took the ornaments and lights off of it and those were all through the house.

Since then, the tree is anchored to the floor, windows, and walls. No more tree in the basement for that group.
