Christmas Trees - MissViv - 11-27-2020

We have not had a tree in 2 years because Phoebe, our Ragamuffin, chews on the branches.  She actually swallows pieces.

We heard, on Facebook, that you could put orange peels under the tree and the cats will not come near the tree.  Going to try that!

Anyone else have any ideas?  I would love to get some pics under the tree this year with Phoebe & Jewels.

You might also try bitter spray on the lower branches, which might be more successful.

I would love to see some Christmas pics of Phoebe and Jewels Heart

I haven't dared put a tree up with Fluffy inside - I'm sure he would think it was especially for him!!!

However - I do have a potted Ficus outside that I put fairy lights on... Big Grin

This might work also.

We have decided to NOT put up a Christmas Tree. We got the smaller tree out and started putting it up and Jewels immediately started chewing on the limbs. The orange peel does not work at all.

We do have a small tree that hangs on the wall so we might try that. I love Christmas and before cats, I would put up three trees.
