Is there any product either homemade or store bought, that will keep pets away from the Christmas tree?

How do you keep some energetic puppies who like to chew up furniture away from the Christmas tree?

What about dogs? I have two dogs and both got them in the summer and they have never seen a Christmas tree and how do I keep them away?

I sprayed a little of my wife's perfume on the lower branches and our cats absolutely hate it! We had tried about everything (foil, dryer sheets etc)and almost did not put up the tree this year because of the cats wreaking havoc on it every year. Thanks to whomever suggested that tip!

One thing I use to "punish" my cat, is a shaker. I have a small tin filled with little pebbles, if he scratches the couch I shake the tin and he stops. They don't like the noise and he hardly does it now! I'd assume the same thing will work for your tree. If the tree is in the lounge, and you are generally around, shake the tin and the cat will stop.

You are one up one me though, I can't even find my christmas decorations this year, so I can't put my tree up (we have moved)..

Have a great Christmas!

You could put some kind of fencing around it.

I usually put the unbreakable and safe ornaments for kids and pets on the bottom and put the breakable or more hazardous ones on the top.

my kitten is having her first christmas and she has decided to try and attack the tree. so my mom got a small squirt gun and if she starts to attack it, she gets a friendly squirt. this also works to train cats to stay off of counter tops. just dont let them see you squirt them.

When my daughter was a baby we put our Christmas tree in a playpen to keep her from pulling it down on herself. It also kept our cats out of it.

Tip: Keep Cats Away from the Christmas Tree

Archived on 12/08/2006

Keep cats away from the Christmas tree with fabric softener sheets. Encircle the tree with the sheets (Bounce, etc.) when you go to bed at night or when you leave the house and pick them up when you return. It will definitely keep the cats away!
