Idk about y’all, but the holidays kinda stress me out when it comes to my cat. more guests, more decorations, and way more chances for something to go wrong. like, my cat LOVES climbing stuff, so the christmas tree is basically a jungle gym for her. also, guests leave their bags open, and i’ve caught her sniffing around meds before 
. and don’t even get me started on tinsel and cords, anyone else take extra precautions this time of year?
ugh yes! my cat knocked over the tree last year and broke a bunch of ornaments. now i anchor it to the wall lol.

zip ties work great if you have something solid nearby to attach it to!
i always put the breakable ornaments up top and use fabric ones at the bottom. less mess if my cat swipes at them lol.

same! i also tell guests to watch their bags. meds left out = disaster waiting to happen.
psa: tinsel is SUPER dangerous for cats. if they eat it, it can get stuck in their intestines and need surgery.
