And if you have cats, tinsel is a no-no.

Definately not! I reamed out my DH for putting tinsel on the tree several times! :twisted:

The first thing you need to do is make sure the tree is wired or tied to the wall....this is a must. Next, I put cloth items, a stocking, snowman, ball etc., on the lower branches that the kitties like and don't get in trouble if they play with them. Most are on the floor every a.m. And finally keep a camera handy to get shots of them from the middle and top of the tree. We have six now but the 1st Christmas for only one of them so I will do all of the above. Love them cats!!!

Don't know where to start looking.

Thanks!

Hobby Lobby and Michael's also have them. They bounce off the floor. Little ones can't break them.

Be careful of strings. They can be swallowed and then tangled up in their intestines. It can actually be a very painful death. One of mine had x-rays, ultrasound and finally exploratory surgery because he was so sick and the vet knew I sewed. Thankfully it wasn't string or needles but we never found out exactly what he has. He takes a special medicine every day from our local pharmacy. They even flavor it tuna for him. I love my cats! Read $$$$$$ here tho :)
