    Cat in the Christmas Tree

    Last year my sister put duct tape in the lowest branches of the tree in such a way as to block the cats out of it, and she said it worked. For my cat, to discourage her from clawing the shower curtain and rugs, I spray febreze on them while she's watching, and I tell her "no"--she's pretty...
