    I've got two very badly behaved mainecoons and surprisingly enough have had no problems with our tree either...yet! It's been up for a week. I've got an artificial one with no tinsel, but I've got bobbles on it and they don't seem to be attracting the cats at all.

    For those of you who are not having so much luck, apparently citronella sprayed on the tree might help to repel curious cats...

    Well...Maya took two ornaments off the tree today under daddy's watch. Neither of them was broken but it is a matter of time when she figures out that she can climb the tree.

    Last night during their playtime, Maya again decided that the tree was hers to play with. I really tried to be stern with her and tell her "No" but how can I be serious when I am snapping pictures of the rascal in the act?
    In the end, I got my Dh to be the meanie and use the spray bottle. It might have worked. BTW, I had already swept up the needles twice before this incident. It's never ending with a 'live' tree.

    Have had the tree up for 10 days now .... no decorations yet .... so far the red has climbed it ... had one either side trying to attack eachother through it ....and general chomping on the ends of the branches ( fake tree) , but nothing for a couple of days might risk some decorations tonight and see what happens!

    Put some wrapped presents under the tree last night. Now have to re-wrap a few as the paper was torn off this morning. It will be Whiskey's 1st Christmas. Wonder how he'll be when Santa puts all the presents under the tree and we unwrap them Christmas morning.

    Well, it's Christmas Eve and still no "tree action" from our boyz. Perhaps they are "maturing" in their old age of 5 yrs. Or, maybe it's the fact I've had my camera at the ready for the past 2 days. Regardless, I caught Blue "eye-ing" the tree - then he saw me and looked disinterested. Cats are just too darned smart sometimes.

    It finally happened. Maya was caught in the act.

    She sees something that she wanted and jumped right into the tree. We had to let her get out by herself as we couldn't get into the tree because of the net lights.

    Buddy has shown no interest what so ever in the tree :( he did have fun with all the wrapping paper but think he just kinda admitted defeat and went to sleep) I feel like I've lost out on something ......

    Christmas is over and Whiskey did great Christmas morning. We opened his stocking 1st and let him play with his toys. This kept him away while we opened our gifts. He didn't even have an interest in the wrapping paper. Put the opened presents back under the and left him alone for the day. Once again he did great. Christmas night he was very inquisitive checking out each and every package. He must have been checking to make sure he opened all of his presents and didn't miss any that Santa might have left him.
