AOL had this info in one of their articles. I thought, just maybe, someone here might need this info.

"Colorado Blue Spruce: For Cat Owners, Heavy Ornaments
A beautiful tree that ranges in color from silvery blue to dark green, the Colorado blue spruce has needles 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches in length that grow "bottle brush" style on the branches. Because the needles are prickly, the Colorado blue spruce is often recommended to people who have cats. They won't try climbing it twice. The strong branches can support heavy ornaments without sagging."

My dad used to be a christmas tree grower and sold some of them I don't like them because they are so picky. But I agree they are more sturdy. I just try not to hang any ornaments lower than 3 ft!!

We gave up last year and bought an artificial tree, which will be put up on Christmas Eve, decorated with wooden ornaments, i.e, cat toys, and taken down January 2.
