We've had both real Xmas trees and excitable cats ever since I can remember
being alive, and all I can suggest is that you get a very sturdy base for the
tree and don't use tinsel (that shiny, stringy stuff that hangs down like a
string toy). My experience is that you won't be able to keep cats from chewing
on the needles, so don't put strange chemicals into the base or spray them
on the tree. And if you keep the hanging ornaments a couple of feet from the
floor, you can avoid a lot of trouble with them being knocked off. We never
had a cat actually climb the tree, but I wouldn't say that it won't happen...
