Well with my three pure domestic cats, I just put double sided sticky tape around the tree. They very quickly got the idea to leave the tree alone.
Now that they are older: 14 or so years old, 6 six years old, and two years old they are not interested in the tree anymore for the most part. Plus having two that go outside they have "better things to do"

I put a few bell ornaments around the bottom of the tree, that way, I know when someone is getting in the tree or messing with the branches. Even with a litter of kittens in the house one year I didn't lose a single ornament thanks to the bells.

Now last Christmas my F3 Savannah was just four months old. So he could not do much damage to my holiday tree. But he sure did try

This year he will be a year and four months old, so I think I will need to tie the tree down
