We got some Command Strips at Target and placed those on the wall by the tree and then used red yard to tie it up at the top. Now the tree is a bit more stable. I'm sure fishing wire would be more transparent, but our yarn isn't to bad. Plus the Command Strips come off clean so no permanent marks on the wall. Another thing we did was tie the tree up.

Then try and teach them by using that. Sharon - The best thing to do is find a smell, sound or other item that your cats hate. Then try and teach them by using that.

I have tried so many things to keep her away from the christmas tree but none work. i would try bags, but she likes them. and i tried like all the peper and citrus sents. and shes not scared of the water bottle. and the bitter apple stuff doesnt work either. is there anything that anyone else knows of that may help me.

They were playing no attention to our tree this year until the weekend we left and they knocked it over. :( The water bottle helps get them away, but they think it's a game. They try to get up the tree without getting wet. If they fail, they clean themselves off and try again. I wish it was that easy with our cats.

After you string it onto the bottom branches of the tree, it looks very pretty and because it's all conected makes a racket when any of the bottom branches move. Good luck!

That way, wherever the cat tries to grab onto, it will hurt. That's got to be a good deterrant. And don't forget, holy still keeps up the whole shristmas theme. does the cat get stuck when it climbs up? I think you should just glue holy all over the tree…

So far squirting her with water and yelling at the cat seems to work. However dryer sheets in the tree deter her too as she hates the smell. Thanks for the link!
