Little by little, the tree is getting done!

First, we put it up with nothing on it.

Our older cats ignored it, but the young ones did get into it, bending the bottom branches. After a while, though it seemed to be safe to straighten those out and go to this stage: just lights and garlands.

Plus Scentcicles, hoping that the smells would deter them.

Instead, we kept finding them on the floor!

My daughter has made up a spray bottle with vinegar in it, as that’s supposed to be something they don’t like.
