When my son was just a toddler, he was fascinated with the Christmas
tree. He wanted to touch the ornaments and wanted to take them off the
tree and replace them. My solution to this dilemma was to purchase a
small tree that was meant just for him. We made paper and felt and
wooden ornaments and other unbreakable decorations for his tree. He
was content and left the "family tree" alone. He played with his tree
for hours at a time.
Household pets are also attracted to Christmas trees and decorations,
especially cats. Anything hanging down from the tree is an open
invitation for them to swat or pull. Tinsel, I'm told, is not healthy
for pets, and yet the sparkles are so fascinating to them.
I wondered if creating a tree just for the family cat might be a good
idea, and it proved to be just that.
The kitty's tree is a small one, even smaller than the one I got for
my son when he was young. The tree stands only about eighteen inches
high.
On our playtime tree, I placed cat toys, cheap, unbreakable ornaments,
and bells. Ribbons and yarn hang down, inviting our cat to pull and
swat at them....
