Put your tree up in its location but dont decorate it at all for a few weeks. Let the cat check it out and after two weeks or so they will get all the curiosity out of them and they won't care about it any more.

Then add the lights, wait a few days, then add the ornaments. If you do it gradually, especially in the beginning I think it helps them to eventually igore it.

LOL good luck! Get a big tree, wait until they are full grown so they can't climb it, secure it to a heavy heavy tree stand .... fill free to add bricks in wrapped boxes around the base if your cat is that wild ... decorate the bottom 3 feet of the tree with paper ornaments or plastic ones. Personally I'm fond of weaving paper hearts out of construction paper on one side & wrapping paper on the other. Aunt Annie's Crafts: Woven Paper Heart Valentine Baskets
