Cats ruining Christmas tree
| Tue, 12-14-2004 - 12:33pm |
Hi, I have 2 cats, one is a two yr old male and the other is a one year old female, both spayed/neutered, de-clawed(well they still have back claws) indoor cats. My problem is that I put my artifical Christmas tree up on the weekend and every time I go to work my cats almost destroy it. Well I am pretty sure it is mostly the younger one. She climbs around inside the tree, bends all the branches, knocks the ornaments off (and some of them have broken) and pulls all the lights off. They broke a string of beads I had on the tree too by chewing them. I am getting so upset - my tree looked so nice and I was looking forward to having people over when the house is all decorated but at this rate the tree will be destroyed before Christmas. Please someone help! I will be so grateful for any suggestions anyone has to save my tree!!!! Thanks in advance.

I know how annoying it can be. I did not put one up last year (which was the first xmas I had Asher) because I knew what he would do to it. So this year I decided to put it up. First I put up just the tree, no decorations, to see how he reacted. He just hid under it and played with some of the branches. Then I put on some lights. He didn't bother those at all. Then I put on some ornaments. He pulled them all off. I decided to forget about the ornaments and just put on some ribbon (like garland). Well he pulled all that off so all I'm left with is a tree with some lights. Luckily he doesn't climb the tree, but I'm sure he'll figure that out soon enough. Just know you are not alone!!!
