I consider myself very lucky in that Miss Kitty and Noodle both basically ignore the tree and any ornaments. Noodle was very interested in the lights when I was checking them and they were laid on the floor. But now that everything is up, they haven't flipped over anything. Knock on wood, toss salt over my shoulder and whatever else you are supposed to do to prevent jinxing yourself.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
Never had a problem with any tree with any of my pets.
My next door neighbors, on the other hand, have a male dog who thinks he has to mark EVERY tree, including Christmas trees. Gross. I think they've gotten to the point, after years of trying barriers, on top of tables, etc, that they're just giving up.

Thrive to spite them
The way Penny acts around anything sparkly I'm afraid to put a tree. Plus I don't have room for it. Although I want to get some kind of crystal or suncatcher to put in a window to drive crazy chasing after the sparklies.
She runs everytime the front door opens and tries to catch the light that reflects off window.

No idea how the cat would deal with a big tree--he's often entirely uninterested in our crazy antics ("get the mousie! look it's a moving point! kill it!" and he's like "Uh...no, I'm napping you stupid humans"). But we got a 3' or 4' tree and put it on the countertop, which he is too fat to get up on.

Leifur likes to lounge on the tree skirt, but that's about all the interest he shows. Which is a relief. Several of my ornaments involve feathers, but unless those are on a live bird, the cat doesn't seem to care.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Some good friends of mine used to set up their manger scene under the Christmas tree until they got a male dog. Let us just say that blasphemy happened, and leave it at that.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Anne. Hilarious and disturbing. Did they rename the dog Mapplethorpe?

No, but they were quite horrified. The mantel became the new tradition after that.

Anne,
OMG. I am laughing out loud over here.

Hee. My mom used to make gingerbread mangers but gingerbread baby Jesus disappeared over and over. At first we got blamed but it turned out that that figure was juuust within the dog's reach.
