That's another reason why i wouldn't put one up if your unsure.Originally Posted by MarleyAndMe
I would let him play with it but how do you distinguish between batting at the ornaments and chewing the lights...you don't, so for his safety I'd rather not chance it.

They came back, batted at it, I pretended not to see it, and they went on to something else.

About a month ago I bought an aritficial pine garland (.97 cents at WM) and wrapped it around the pillar in our front entrance. I hung plastic and wooden ornaments in it, and ribbon bows.
Peppermint oil can be toxic to cats just from being inhaled. Any essential oil can be.Originally Posted by erinca7821
I searched the internet for some ways to prevent, and one site said they don't like the smell of citrus or peppermint, so we bought a couple citrus car air fresheners and embedded them into the tree and bought peppermint oil and orange oil used for baking and I dabbed the bottom pieces of the tree with a Qtip covered in the peppermint oil. Right now, the house stinks like peppermint and orange, and both me and boys are a little unhappy about that, but it's keeping Freddy away from the tree.
My cats are old timers now but even 8 years ago, none of them really bothered with the tree. They did like to take turns hiding under it, to then pounce on one of their unsuspecting buddies. heh heh. A couple would drink the sugar water in the bottom of the tree stand (so I'd have to cover it with tin foil).Originally Posted by MarleyAndMe
Im not taking it down, I thought there had to be something I can do to keep him out of it. By your suggestion, Im not thinking so. Well I can keep him in the bedrooms while we are gone and at night. I guess it's going to be a loooong month! Do cats usually grow out of this or should I expect it every year??
