How do you guys go about decorating your homes when you're living with cats?
Our cats turn into Godzilla incarnate whenever we introduce some decoration in our living room. They will generally ignore stuff when we're in the room, but the moment we leave or get occupied with something else, they both go at it to the point of complete and utter destruction.
At this point I would love to get some decoration going, because right now it's a bare apartment with furniture, but nothing to really bring the place to life. Especially with Christmas coming up (we already decided to not get a proper tree and just go with alternative decoration).
I was thinking of maybe trying to put a nice twig in a glass bottle or something. Maybe put candles in glass preserving jars with some nuts and twigs, but I can't seem to think of anything else to do that may not interest the cats (or at least withstand an assassination attempt).
So does anyone of you have any tips or ideas on how to decorate a home where cats live?
PS: Feliway (both the spray and the vaporizer) had no effect at all on either cat. They're super relaxed at home with or without Feliway. They just seem to hate anything decorative. Our cats might just be mini Grinches.

- We had a money tree in a vase. We were able to enjoy it for half a day, but when we went out to the store and returned an hour later, they had felled the tree, broken the stone pot it was in (don't ask me how) and had ripped off all the leaves.
- We had a vase with roses. I brough them home one evening to surprise the missus, they were there for an hour or 2, but when I returned from taking a shower, the table was covered in ripped up leafs, petals and stems (I was gone for maybe 5 minutes).
- Candles? Denied.
- Herbs in the kitchen? Denied.
- Art? Denied.
