well I just put my christmas tree up and as usual my 3 cats think it's the ultimate toy, they jump all over chew everything up, it really sux when they play who can get up to the top first, especially when fatty wins. Anyone have any tips on how to prevent these bastards from destroying this years tree. Maybe those bottles of spray they sell in pet stores will work. thanks!

Those things you talk about usually work. They have some sort of scent that cats hate and usually stay a good safe distance away from. Otherwise just grab a spritzer and spray their asses whenever they get close to the tree.

Maybe try Fox/Coyote urine powder. I dont know if it has a strong smell. They sell it for gardens.

That cat repellent spray actually works better than I thought it would. Stopped my 2 cats from pissing under the table, at least. Of course, the little fuckers just keep finding new spots to piss in after I spray, but the spray does what it's supposed to.

Put double sided tape near the base of the tree. Cats HATE that sticky feeling under their feet and they'll never do it again once they realize it's there. It also works for tops of fridges, or places up high that they like to climb.

Add a little bit of vinegar to your spray bottle. The kitten we just got didn't mind when we sprayed it with just water. A few days ago, I started adding vinegar, and she fucking hates it.
-------------------- All of the above is complete and total fiction, and is just my pathetic attempt to fit in.

When they touch it, shout NO, then pick them up and gently lob them over to a couch. They HATE loud startling noises and they REALLY HATE being lobbed into the air. Its harmless and its worked with every cat I ever had.
The one I have now is 3, she has her claws, my furniture is fine and she has done nothing but "look" at my tree this year. The first year we had her she scampered her way to the top and that was the last time she did it too.
They HATE being lobbed into the air, (think it has to do with loss of control sensations) yet if you do it gently and so they'll land feet first on a couch, its totally harmless.
Give it try anyway. Soon, just the NO will be enough to make them back off, and then, not even that will be needed.
It's worked for all the cats I've ever had.
I want to see videos of it too first though! Cats are a riot. I once had to close some new kittens off in my bedroom when the mother in law visiting didn't like them jumping on her lap. THEY didn't like being closed off in my room and TP'd it. (master bath was connected) A whole roll of toilet paper was all over the place when I went back in to check on them. Those little fuckers, it was funny.
