how do i keep my cat out of the christmas decorations?!!?

You may want to put a stash of cat nip somewhere away from the tree so your cat has more business with the cat nip than the tree. Or you can move anything beside the tree that she can climb on to get to the top of the tree. If that doesn't work tha maybe play with her more so she is occupied with you not the tree. Merry Christmas!!

I think most people with cats and X-mas trees have the same problem. Other than a guard dog and keeping the cat out of the room, you'll probably get lots of good answers. The cat has found "new" toys just like a little child. Spraying some cats won't help - believe it or not, some love water. Everyone has to cooperate, by hollering the cat's name when they go near anything. Hopefully, the cat will get scared each time and eventually stay away. GOOD LUCK!!!

BE VERY CAREFUL! I had a cat who used to chew on the fake pine needles and became so ill that she had to be put down. There are various aprays in the pet stores that can be used to keep kitty away from things, but they are not always effective. Try putting aluminum foil on the tabletops to heep kitty off of the tables. (They don't like to walk on it.) I usually set my tree on the front porch now and only hang a few things inside. I try to put things out of reach of my 4 cats. Good luck!

If you ever find an answer let me know. My cat has OCTD (Obsessive Christmas Tree Disorder). We put the tree in the basement so we can close the door when we are not there.

Lady : you know about cats there is an way in doing this

very simple ! make sure of christmas decorations are all

safe ! keep your cat away from xmastree do so or just

put her out side with food too that way she'd wont make a mess

any more

try this advice ok ?

Unless you can be right there with kitty 24/7 there isn't much you can do. Spraying water only helps if you catch her in the act, but if you are not there she will continue to have her fun. Besides spraying her with the water could make her affraid of you also and you don't want that.

If you're trying to scold at your kitten for climbing/attacking your Christmas Tree, these are some possible ways to say (Dont touch the tree):

A) Put a barrier of some sort around your Christmass Tree to prevent your cat from making contact

B) I'm sure there are some kinds of materials they sell that repel cats (Liquids?) that you can use (NOT ON YOUR CAT). You could put it on your Christmas Tree or around it to prevent your cat from coming near.

C) (IF) You'r Christmas Tree is in a room that you dont use very much (that has a door) just close the door when no ones using it or when someones in it.

D) Keep watch and everytime you see your cat going near the Christmas Tree, carry him/her away.

E) Occupy your cat, you could get him/her a scratching post, a self automated toy, a remote controlled mouse (Yes they do sell those, I know for a fact ((I have one)) ).

F) This isnt exactly my best choice...Shut her up in a room with marbles and toys that she could play with, and someone to play with (I wouldnt though)

G) Get/Make something that would grab your cat's attention from the tree (You could take some boxes and make a play house or a tunnel of some sort, or buy a post or play pen)

H) Again, not the best choice, move you Christmas Tree to a basement or attic (Somewhere that you dont use) until (A couple days before?) Christmas Eve or Chrismas

I) If there are ornaments and other strings and catchy things on your Christmas tree remove them until Christmas Eve- You could have a family get-to-gether and hang them back up again

J) Punish your cat (Not harshly) everytime he jumps on your tree, spray it, flick it's nose, toss it (GENTLY) away, ect

Some solutions (Above) arent even saying (NO). They're just other ways to prevent your cat from attacking your Christmas Tree.

How ever if you're cat keeps eating smaller plants, other ways of saying (Dont eat plants!) are:

A) Spraying the plant(s) with repelant

B) Moving the plant(s) to a higher area, unreachable for your kitten

C) Flicking your kitten's nose when ever he/she tries to eat or damage the plant

D) When ever your kitten tries to eat part of the plant, pry open (Not harshly) his/her mouth and take the remaining plant out of his/her mouth and push your kitten away

E) Either put something near your plant(s) to scare your cat every time he/she gets near it, or scare your cat yourself when ever your cat gets near the plant

As you can see there are many possible ways to prevent your cat from doing something wrong without scolding at your cat, or scolding your cat in many diffrent ways to prevent him/her from doing something wrong.

Other ways to scold at your cat may include:

A) Locking your cat in a room (Not for long, the least you could do is put a couple of toys and needed items ((Such as litter box, food, ect.)) in the room) whenever she/he does something wrong repeatedly.

B) Shake him/her GENTLY, for a few SECONDS. Do NOT (I repeat ((!NOT!)) shake your cat brutally AND for more then three seconds at the maximum when ever he/she does something wrong repeatedly.

C) Puting a leash on your cat (Do not put a short leash on your cat unless needed or for serious safety reasons) until he/she learns not to do what ever he/she is doing wrong.

So there are many solutions. Scolding or not, you'r cat will just have to learn either way!

Have a nice day and remember treat your cat with utmost patience and love!

If you go to a pet store, there is a spray that will keep pets away from anything that is sprayed. It does smell a little bit at first, but it works really well.

hey my cat has the same problem but she climbs up the window screen and wrecks it so if you go to the nearest supermarket you can by this stupp called cat repelint it works great and its cheap

You should try spraying her with water, that will teach her to bee a little more cautiouse. The more often she is caught doing it and you spray her, she will eventually stop doing it.
