Now there's a good question. If you were a first-time cat mom with an energetic young cat who seems determined to chew on anything and everything, and who has been known to eat the tails off his toys (we can't allow him near anything remotely related to string anymore), would you even try to get a Christmas tree? I *love* my Christmas trees, look forward to it all year long, and can't imagine my place in December without one. But then again. . . I am so worried that Rizz will try to eat the branches. I would only decorate the top half, and he's not much of a climber and no jumper at all, so the ornaments aren't a problem. But I can just see him poisoning/choking himself on the tree itself! Then again . . . he wouldn't *really* do that, would he?

*frets*

I know, I'm no help. In fact, I'm negative help! Do any of those cat-deterrent sprays actually work?
