Given Bosco's propensity for climbing window screens, chewing anything cord-like or box-like (all the presents would be opened before Christmas morning), and generally acting like a crazy cat, the tree would last perhaps a day and the ornaments an hour. I haven't figured out a good tree alternative.<BR/><BR/>Good luck having Teri S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12086000712017696909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19341251.post-23324103408790496122008-12-03T13:58:00.000-05:002008-12-03T13:58:00.000-05:00Small house + (2 dogs + 1 cat)= tree stays in atti...Small house + (2 dogs + 1 cat)= tree stays in attic.<BR/>Verification word: What is the opposite of AGK? dinkie<BR/><BR/>BertaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19341251.post-33959097740745251532008-12-03T13:24:00.000-05:002008-12-03T13:24:00.000-05:00My cats usually play with the tree until the ornam...My cats usually play with the tree until the ornaments and lights go on.

My sister however has a teeny tiny cat (like 3 pounds tops) and her cat is stealth enough (and small enough) to climb up into the tree and lay in its fake pokey branches - which is fine & dandy until he tries to exit. She now keeps her tree all decorated up on the back porch.
