Question
It's that time of year when many of us put a pine tree up in our living room and decorate with lots of shiny objects and string-like items. It seems that many cats find this combination to be almost irresistible. So... what can I do to keep my cat from getting too festive in the tree?
Answer
We used to hang a bell on a low branch that would ring when the cat started to climb the tree. We called it the "cat alarm." When it would ring, we would come and get the cat out of the tree right away.
Whether or not your cat will eventually get discouraged from climbing the tree is up to your cat. :)
The other thing we did was we cut out a three foot circle out of plywood, and screwed the tree stand down to the plywood. That way, even if the cat did climb the tree, there was no way he could knock it over.
