Well, talk to the neighbors first. If they agree, you're more likely to succeed at a variance request and then you could just raise the fence. However, if you think a tree would help, a dwarf fruit tree can be grown in a large pot, and they will grow eight to ten feet tall. You can even grow tropical fruits, like oranges or lemons, and simply wheel the pot inside for the winter (garage/shed/etc).

Oops. Hit submit too early. I was going to say, you could try diagonally with a straight side following the line of the fireplace.

My cat is very interested in the tv - he watches nature videos with me, and he will leave during "boring" commericals and return when the animals return to the screen. he also watches me play video games on the tv. So I bought a pair of cat videos for him. He enjoyed them a couple times, then got bored. I suppose it depends on the cat - their likes, attention span, memory, etc.

My cat clawed my wing chair to death. I reupholstered ita couple years ago in marine grade vinyl and it still looks fabulous. My loveseat is vinyl (I was too cheap for leather), and it's done wonderful too - the cat hair wipes off and he doesn't want to claw it. If leather is out of the question, I'd advise you to use a good quality vinyl.
