Decorating for the holidays takes on a whole new plan when you have a cat or two in the house. Our feline friends love the balls and glistening glitter decorations and oftentimes use them as a source of fun during the holidays.

Decorating for the Christmas season is possible if there’s cats in the home, but there’s a few extra steps that you should take.
