Well, Christmas times bestows upon us once again.  This year I'll be
celebrating it a bit differently with a lovely new bride and a hyper-
active feline.  My question to all wonderful cat owners out there in 
net land is how does most cats react to real Xmas trees?  My wife's
family had the artificial type of tree with the handy pine scented
aerosol can for the all too realistic effect.  Her cats would just 
mainly attack the shiny ornaments.  I am use to having the real           
type of tree at the house and would like to continue this tradition.  I
don't know too much about the spray type of repellent; tried the kind
in the orange can and thought I was going to gag to death.  I hate 
the thought of coming home to find a tree tipped over with water and
such.  So, any suggestions would be most welcomed.
