Cat's and Christmas trees

Just reading another thread (real v fake tree's) and a number of posters said they do not bother with tree's - because their cats attack them?
I am guessing it is quite common for cats to go for the tree's?
This will be Amber's 3rd Christmas - our tree barely made it to Crimbo day last year due to her efforts of destruction :eek:
I am still having my Christmas tree though, regardless of how threadbare and half dead it looks after the cat has been at it
My childhood cat had a particular interest in certain decorations and would scale my Mum's tree to get to them?
Are all cats like this?

when the cat promptly ran up the tree and wrecked it within minutes. Also he ( the cat ) would
sit looking at the decorations on the ceilling and try and paw them down even though they were about ten foot higher, than him.

We can no longer have a Christmas tree of any sort now...the first year we had our cat we ended up taking the tree down after one day as he was constantly trying to get to the baubles, tinsel etc and I was worried he was going to choke himself on tinsel anyway.
The second year we thought we were being clever by buying a fibre optic tree which lights up now and again. Wrong! Within two minutes of switching it on the flashing lights caught his attention and he was chewing the ends of the plastic! :eek: We ended up giving that tree to my in-laws...
So now we just don't bother...
Phew!
awwwwwwww bless her little fluffy paws!!!
Wrapping paper.... now that's a different story!
I remember one year at my parents house they had lots of the very thin strands of tinsel on their tree. Smokey decided to eat a bit and we noticed her trotting round the house with a bit poking out of her bum! That was the last time they used that type of tinsel!!
Mum always does a massive turkey and cooks it on Christmas Eve.
Turkey was left out in pantry covered in masses of foil, several teatowels and the door shut.
Woke up that Christmas morning and eventually found my Snoopy fast asleep on top of the half eaten turkey (still partially covered in foil and teatowels I hasten to add!) :eek:
Devious!
I love wrapping my presents up and putting them under the tree but they unwrap them too!
Mine sit on it, under it and behind it and chase the baubles but don't destroy it.
Mojo loves it, he thinks its specially put up for his own especial enjoyment
Alfie is a little calmer and just likes to sit/sleep under it.
Chester (who is incurably greedy) likes to sniff anything put on the tree in case in turns out to be edible, and he quite enjoys nicking the baubles off it and then chasing them around the room!
My parents always had dogs......one year the dog was totally thrilled with his indoor loo........we werent impressed and the pressies thankfully never got put under the tree by Santa....He had the sense to put them on the chairs instead lol
