8. LOL. My friend has 3 dogs, pig, ferret and 5 cats.

She also has vaulted ceilings so gets a 10ft+ tree each year, and has screws in the walls & the beams so she wires her tree to the ceiling and sides and her animals can't bring it down. She had to do this after the first year when it got knocked down constantly and destroyed most of her inherited antique glass ornaments.

10. Hilarious!

But my cats would LOVE the cardboard box one. I know it's tall, but they'd find a way to get into it.

[MFM008]

14. I don't put one up anymore

Unless I got an electrical fence my cat wouldn't leave it alone.

15. I was babysitting my niece about 29 years ago

and had to call the parents to shriek that there was red glowing eyes moving around the Christmas tree. It was the cat deep inside the tree. I didn't even know they had a cat.

[pnwmom]

16. And the cat, deep inside the tree, was worried about

the strange new human who was freaking out in the living room.

So you were even!

20. Maybe this year I'll hang a six foot tree from my ten foot ceiling and dare my chihuahua to jump

[BoneyardDem]

22. We ended up buying plastic/unbreakable decorations this year because of the cats

Damn...

[murielm99]

23. The vacuum cleaner is good.

I could keep mine near the tree and turn it on when I see the cat in the general area.

The first year we had the dog, she knocked the tree over. It scared her so much she has stayed away ever since.

Does anyone use that anti-cat spray? Does it harm real evergreen trees?

[Ligyron]

25. It's the presents underneath that really catch hell.

Cats love to death and eventually destroy all those dangley ribbons and bows. Then the friggin dog eats them.

[njhoneybadger]

26. I have to take issue with the asshole reference

My four cats are a pain in the ass but not assholes. A tRump voter is an asshole

[burrowowl]

27. Too funny!

[jmowreader]

28. I have owned at least thirty cats in my time

Each and every one of them could have gotten into that tree that was hanging from the ceiling.
