Anyone else having the same trouble? Photos please!

Our Christmas tree no longer has baubles at the bottom. It's like living with a goat. biggrin.gif

Testing out the taste:



Pulling on the cord:



Attack!!



Exhausted from strenuous tree attack activity; doesn't care that it is lying on the light cord nor that a Christmas decoration purchased in my early 20's from Holland is lying discarded on the floor.



We haven't turned our lights on yet. I'm too scared of a Chevy Chase style explosion.

Exactly lynnemine. He loves the tree and quite often curls up around the fake reindeer. original.gif

My cat has managed to chew through the light cord, spread Christmas baubles all over the house and then locate her present under the tree and unwrap it. She has also chewed half a branch off.
She refuses to have her photo taken as she knows it will be used in evidence against her.

My cat has been surprisingly good this year apart from hiding under it and jumping out trying to get your feet when you walk past she has pretty much left it alone very strange considering the past 2 years have ended up with the tree knocked over at least twice

Oooh.... shiny
This year we have a live tree (or one that used to be, before it got cut down) and the cats are finding it.... delicious huh.gif . No response to our usual plastic fantastic tree last year but this real one is just tasty. So no decorations for us this year other than lights and maybe some silver beads.

I remember the strange feeling of loss that first year when we put the tree up and my old boy just wandered in gave it a sniff and wandered off again.

Realised I had actually rather enjoyed the climbing, bauble golf, and assorted cutely destructive mayhem of the previous years!

He'd obviously reached the age of 'Bah Humbug' in cat years!

zomg that's so funny.

My puppy seemed to have a taste for electrical cord when she was little. Once she managed to chew the cord off my tumble dryer while it was plugged in and turned on... I wonder if she got zapped, because it's 8 years later and she hasn't chewed another cord since...

That last photo is fantastic, especially the way he's looking at you and poking his tongue out.
