It was so bad for our cat! She would try to swallow it down. When we have had indoor pets, we trim the lower branches so there are not any ornaments that are within reach.

Any plastic bags or packing material are fair game. I keep plastic bags to dispose of cat waste, so I make sure that the plastic bags are kept in a wicker basket on top of a high shelf in the laundry room.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-79730070768366398742015-12-22T07:56:25.349-08:002015-12-22T07:56:25.349-08:00We make sure our trash can is out of reach or wher...We make sure our trash can is out of reach or where we can keep an eye so that the dogs don't get into anything bad for them.

We do things as second nature, so we forget to warn people when they come to visit. We know the cat doesn't go outside and the dog doesn't go upstairs. Of course, the pets know the new people don't know this and they take advantage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633188103453723439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-90212979002322953662015-12-19T12:35:52.759-08:002015-12-19T12:35:52.759-08:00We always tied the Christmas tree to a hook in the...We always tied the Christmas tree to a hook in the beam of the living room when we had cats.

I have two small parrots. I save treats and toys and give them out when we are having food that is not good for sharing with them. Keeps them happy and safe and keeps me sane!
