He must have had dumb cats, tried same, even with sharp thin
(hard to see) brads.  My cats just pushed them to one side
and squatted.

We have had success (unqualified) with using large pine cones.
The bigger and nastier the better.  Do not use "decorator" 
types, they do not have spikes.  Overfill the container.
