Thanks for the advice! I have purchased all plastic ornaments this year, so I will just have to keep re-decorating the tree, as the ornaments come down. Hmm, I never even considered that there could be lead in the trees. Something I will have to check out for sure! I am going to buy some Christmas cat toys, to hang on the branches, around the bottom, hopefully this will keep them busy, and they will leave the rest of the tree alone! granted the tree situation has me a bit annoyed, but I am really looking forward to the cats jumping around in the wrapping paper, and boxes after the presents have been opened! last year, it was so funny when Sammy did this, now this year, Romeo will too!
