Re: Artificial Xmas trees?
 

A: I'm cheap, Ive had my $70 tree for 12 years now.

B: I hate cleaning up the needles from a real tree

C: I hate having to find some form of disposal for a dead tree at the end of the season.

Re: Artificial Xmas trees?
 

I bought mine for $70 five years ago. It gets cheaper every Christmas. :thumbup:


D: I hate putting the lights on, they always seem to cluster around the back.

Sitting Room = Relatively tidy and presentable to visitors

Family Room = Toy strewn disaster area?

Thats because an Xmas tree clearly IS a feline entertainment device. All experience shows this to be true:confused: Let them have their fun:)

Re: Artificial Xmas trees?
 

Thanks guys - going to trek over to Walmart or the huge Canadian tire and get me one :D

I don't want a real one because...

A) never had one, wouldn't know where the hell to start trying to keep it alive til Xmas

B) knowing my idiot cats, they'd eat it and get sick and cost me a fortune in vets bills

and lastly

C) sod clearing up all those needles!

Re: Artificial Xmas trees?
 

knowing my idiot cats you have better not put tinsely garland on the tree anyway.... it can do horrible things to them, and looks none too festive coming out of either end again :eek:

Re: Artificial Xmas trees?
 

This is actually very good advice!

That lametta (sp?) type stuff, the stuff that is long silvery strings is actually very dangerous for cats or any other animal that decideds to eat it. It is sharp edged, and long and if it gets inside them, it can cut them to ribbons inside. and because it is long and dangly cats seem to love to play with it.

My parents had to have one cat put down because it decided to eat the stuff.

Bound to happen occasionally:lol:

My little bundle of joy is rapidly changing the appearance of our tree. It has far fewer baubles than it did and I have no idea where they have gone. She clearly has a hiding place for stuff.

Re: Artificial Xmas trees?
 

Mine has decided that the quilted fabric ornaments I made years ago are actually a strange shaped variant of toy mice...

She keeps taking them off and playing with them, then hides them in the corners where she hides her mice.

Re: Artificial Xmas trees?
 

Yeah - already bypassed tinsel ;) Never had any previous and won't whilst cats are around.

Re: Artificial Xmas trees?
 

I have rather nifty red and green strings of wooden beads in place of the tinsel (cheap from Canadian Tire fwisw).

Dont go down the strings of popcorn btw - some cats like it and will climb the tree to eat it (as I discoverd to my cost with one cat when we lived in the UK)... a cat choking on the string you threaded the popcorn on is not a pretty sight!
