Yea! My Christmas tree is up. All three fuzzies are barely interested. Helping Mommy set it up and manage the cut-off branches was all they cared about! Baby played with one branch for about a minute - then that was it. However, they (Baby especially as earlier suspected) are helping the tree drink it's water. It is apparently so much more fun and convenient than all the ferret bowls of water. (-: I don't put anything in the water, but would love to know if they's a way to discourage them. Thanks Risa ***Hey, when someone asks a general question (like all the ones about odors, furniture proofing, etc) please post answers to the FML so we can all learn. I wasn't posting about scent problems, but was glad to hear about that vanilla trick. Thanks!*** [Posted in FML issue 3256]
