Kitten Proof Xmas Decorations/ Tree??

[Smowball]

It seems, after getting two kittens who are now 16 weeks old, and hyperactive lunatics!(I love them really lol), that a Xmas tree is not going to be happening this year. :( : ( we always always have a real tree, and it’s a big thing putting it up and decorating it, but these two are just going to wreck it within 5 mins, pulling every single bauble off it, or else they will be climbing up it!
So it seems I have got to go without a tree, and somehow put up some decorations that they can’t reach!! Any ideas, or anyone had to do this??
Btw Happy Saturday everyone xx

My friend made a Christmas tree collage using the cards she had received. It was in her hall, facing the front door and looked splendid. She's very arty though. I couldn't do that but you might be able to.

Have a tree, put some hooks in the walls and secure the tree with strong twine, but shatterproof baubles and be ready to take photos, kittens and Christmas trees are magic.

[douglas9401]

Decorate it with cucumbers?

[rowanwitch]

[Smowball]

Am loving the replies!! Looks like I might have to put my creative cap on!!

[lankeela]

I saw a photo on facebook recently of a Christmas tree with three or four cat beds fixed to the branches at different heights with cats sleeping in them!

[Smowball]

(Have got to try the cucumbers tho! )

[Smowball]

Lanklee - would love to see that!

[douglas9401]

And instead of a Christmas tree get a pussy willow.

[Smowball]

Lol very good!!

[roopower]

Whatever you do, no tinsel or lametta they can prove fatal. Kittens seem to find them irresistible.

[pastafreak]

Are there baubles that spray water when shaken? That might work...;)

[diddlydo]

Just shut the kittens in a different room from the tree.

[pat2604]

That would spoil all the fun Diddly;0)

[pat2604]

And yes kittens and Christmas trees are magic!

[zebo]

Our cat only ever jumped into the tree once, he spent a lot of time licking his pads afterwards and seemed to learn a lesson!

I remember our cat 12 years ago climbing the Xmas tree and bashing the baubles. We couldn't help but laugh! Such fun for the kitten...
