Cats and Christmas Trees

Cats and Christmas trees, the annual battle. When we have ours up (but not this year) we have the base screwed onto a wide piece of wood which is held down with bricks and large rocks. Then covered with the skirt. That way, the tree doesn't move, not even when Cooper climbs into it or the cats run and bat at the bottom branches and decorations. Last year, we removed the bottom branches for about two feet of clearance so that the cats could easily sit and move underneath the tree. And it worked perfectly. Everyone was happy, especially me.
