Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2004kittens and Christmas trees.
We have a fake tree, plastic baubles, no tinsel and mini-lights only plugged in when we are in the room. Maximus is using the thing like monkey bars! While it is fun to watch and does not seem to pose any safety issues, he is going to bring the whole tree down! Is there any way to keep kittens out of trees? :)  SignatureAndy aNO-SPAM-AT-ALL@ajh.ca >We have a fake tree, plastic baubles, no tinsel and mini-lights only >plugged in when we are in the room.

Luckily the kids agree that our kittens are much more important than the Christmas tree..... SignatureAndy aNO-SPAM-AT-ALL@ajh.ca > Sigh.... The tree just came down.

That's why we didn't put up a tree this year, too much tempting for two crazed kittens. :) SignatureVictor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com >We have a fake tree, plastic baubles, no tinsel and mini-lights only >plugged in when we are in the room.

That kept my kitten, who shortly turned into a 15 pound CAT, from attacking and knocking over the tree. Sigh...I just wish I could use icicles, but I still haven't found out how to keep cats from eating them, and putting their lives in danger. Try using a product called ssscat. it has a motion sensor on it and will beep or spray air onto the cat when approached. It has worked keeping my cat away from other things.. http://www.ssscat.com/ Chris > We have a fake tree, plastic baubles, no tinsel and mini-lights only > plugged in when we are in the room.

No way it's getting knocked over like that. >Hi, I dont know how tall your tree is, mine's a decent size but >not too tall to to place on the entertainment unit, I move the tele' [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> Andy >> aNO-SPAM-AT-ALL@ajh.ca >We just anchor our tree to the wall with sometwine type stuff.

It was big enough that my eight month old kitten couldn't knock it down. He did, however, routinely attack it and climb up the inside of it. He destroyed fully one-third of my christmas ornaments. That included some I've had for years and had plenty of sentinemental value. What can you do? He's a kitten. He's rambunctious. He didn't know any better. Any since I could never catch him in the act, I could never tell him no and give him some reinforcement as to what thatt means. |
