Well I've been trying to keep Clyde away from the Christmas tree but he
just won't leave it alone. The orange peels worked for about a day but
sometimes even when I put new ones there he goes right passed them if
he's running. So I thought of maybe getting a citrus spray to spray
around the tree to keep him away. Would it work and would it take away
the smell of the tree?

If orange peels aren't working, I doubt a citrus spray would do much
either. How about putting a plastic runner, upside down, around the
tree? It won't look as pretty, but the pokey surface won't be too fun
to walk (or run) on.

My cats love hanging out in the tree and playing with the ornaments. I
don't have any glass ones, though, so it's safe for them. Thankfully they
aren't interested in the lights (I also string them so that the cords
aren't tempting as a toy). I think when you have cats, you have to plan
for and expect them to play with the Christmas tree. JMO.
