Cats and Trees
Question: How do you keep the cat(s) out of the tree?

Re: Cats and Trees
Growing up I had 4 cats (two at a time) and they never were in the tree- they did play with the ornaments though. But Troy.... oye- we didn't put the tree up last year (we did the year before) because he was in it daily.
Now living with the ILs, MIL has delayed putting up the 14' tree, and I'm terrified that he'll destroy it or break/bend the branches.
My cats are too fat and lazy to care too much about the tree, they play with the ornaments a bit. My biggest issues with them is laying on the tree skirt, it's white so I'm always lint rolling it and they used to drink the water out of it but that problem is solved since we got a fake tree.
I can't use any curling ribbon because my husband's cat will eat it, we can't have balloons around him for the reason too, he's such a bad cat.

Ha! This is something Troy would do!
Ugh. It's just like how they get up on the counter after you leave. ::side eye at my cats::
We got a fake tree this year and Bella still decided to climb it the first night it was up, and bent some of the lower branches. I thought since the metal hinges were so thin that it would hurt her paws. But I guess she wanted to give it a try. We bent the metal back and then put tape around the bottom hinges (with sticky side facing the floor and another layer facing up). She hasn't gone in since (that we can tell).
And ditto.
And P.S.
I can only have ornaments on the upper half of the tree because they take them.
We were nervous with our tree, seeing as we haven't had either of our cats at Christmas before. We just have a little 4' artificial tree on an end table, and Lucy (the 2 yr old) just sleeps under it and occasionally bats an ornament (one of the unbreakable ones on the bottom) and Leo is either still too small, or just too lazy to try and jump up on the table.
A spray water bottle usually did the trick when we had Dexter who LOVED being IN the tree. Only 1 ornament was subject to casualty during the 3 Christmases we had him.
