People come into my house and ask why everything is at chest height or higher — movies, pictures, trashcans. The answer? I have three small kids. They are a bleeping tornado some days. I keep crap out of reach. After my baby brother was born, Mom didn’t even put ornaments on the first two feet of tree until he was five. Why do “normal” people not understand this?
Yeah, my aunt used to call her kids ‘rubber monkeys’ as they would climb up anything and could stretch to grab stuff. Her advice was if you could reach it with little effort, it wasn’t hidden enough.
I don’t have a Christmas tree because I have cats. They’d never leave it alone. I crocheted a tree to hang on the wall and I put ornaments on that. Cat can’t reach it.
Decorate the Christmas tree with cat toys. The cat won’t go near it then. Reverse psychology!

How could a Christmas ornament scratch a hardwood floor? Most of them are made of super thin glass.
It was probably the cat that scratched the floor while knocking off the ornaments.
