No water in the bowl, no ornaments on the tree. Oooh and aaah over it and give it lots of attention so they come around and start snuffling on it. They will become excited. They will climb it, probably all the way to the top. And then it will fall over. Set it back up. Lather, rinse, repeat. It shouldn't take more than two times per cat. Then they will slink away, because it's prickly and pokey to leap out of a falling tree. And scary. Once they are avoiding it, you can give the poor tree a drink of water, and hang some ornaments. Glass ones on the top half, unbreakable ones on the bottom half.<br /><br />I have a friend who always hangs an upside down tree from the ceiling. Quite a conversation piece.Ink-Pattienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-25559382805252097622009-11-19T13:42:12.442-06:002009-11-19T13:42:12.442-06:00So pretty!

As for decorating, I have a special collection of angel ornaments that I hang by ribbons from a chandelier in the dining area. You might also consider hanging a small decorated tree from the ceiling via a light fixture or something similar. I don't know if the "tigers" can leap that far into thin air or not. When our second child was a toddler, we put the tree in the playpen and let him run free. Don't think that will work for you, though!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501602621217850579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-45368654593314978412009-11-19T07:49:21.778-06:002009-11-19T07:49:21.778-06:00So, what did you use before and how do you use the...So, what did you use before and how do you use the new medium. Oh, and where do you get it? I have used Mod Podge as a collage medium but it often stays tacky. I am working on some canvas ornaments (a totally new to me idea) and am thinking I want to seal them as I am using chalk as well as markers. I will spray with a workable fixative but then want to seal all that. Will show you how they turn out (if they do!)in a few days. <br />tonilea<br />jiffy1212@aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
