Ah, yes, cats and Christmas trees can be a tricky combination. Cats love to climb and explore, so they're naturally drawn to the tree. Here are a few tips to keep your cats from causing any mischief:
Place the tree in a room that can be closed off, such as a spare bedroom or the garage. This way, you can keep the cats away from the tree without having to constantly monitor their behavior.
Cover the base of the tree with aluminum foil or sticky tape. Cats generally don't like the texture or feel of these materials and will avoid them.
