Default Catproof Christmas Lights?

Rhino wrote:
Is anyone familiar with some kind of indoor Christmas lights that are
cat proof? My friend would like to put lights on the tree in her
condo but her cat persists in trying to eat them. I believe she is
using the LED lights. I'm not sure if a cat could actually break one
of those and ingest shards of glass but she is worried that this
might happen.
Does anyone market something that is truly catproof? I'm not talking
about something that the manufacturer alone claims is catproof; I'd
like to find something that purchasers find to actually BE catproof.

If such a product exists, can I get a link to a website or store that
carries it? A business that operates in Canada would be particularly
helpful.


Led's are good. They run on about 3 volts so cats and kids can't be
electrocuted by them. Also, they don't shatter and spill glass everywhere
like an incandescent bulb does. If an led is ingested, it will probably pass
through the digestive tract without leaving anything behind and wonl't be
toxic at all.
