HELP! Found my Cat IN the Christmas tree

So last night I was reading in bed and all of a sudden I heard the jingle jangle of christmas ornaments. I figured the cat was under the tree batting at the ornaments.

NOPE! He's in the tree! As soon as he heard me coming he jumped off the side! Chat Icon Chat Icon

Does anyone have any expierence with this? I tried spraying a pet safe "keep off" spray but clearly that doesn't work. Chat Icon

TIA!

Re: HELP! Found my Cat IN the Christmas tree

we secure our to the wall each year with some green wire, so you cant see it. After the first year we had our cat and he climbed up into it and knocked it down. we didnt want to have a repeat performance.
All of my cats that I ever had climbed up into the tree and my mom always secured it. I think they think they are outside! Chat Icon

I didn't know what to do; get the camera or squirt her. Obviously, I got the camera, then squirted. LOL.

Re: HELP! Found my Cat IN the Christmas tree

when I had cats, they both loved to climb to the top of the tree. I kept a spray bottle handy and squirted them everytime I caught them. They eventually got the hint that they would just get wet and didnt do it anymore. I also secured the tree to the wall w/wire like Lisa said, just in case.

Ohhh yes we do, and our tree is fake so its even more obvious when he decides to use the tree as a climbing toy. Now he wont bother with the tree while we are home but he certainly had a field day in the tree while we were working!

One time we came home to find a gap all along the top of the tree between branches where he must have climbed up to and walked around. Another time we came home to finding mass amounts of ornaments strewn along the floor. LOL

This year he hasnt seemed to have had too much interest with the tree...at least that I know of LOL or he could be getting clever lol

Chat Icon My cat Cindy, who unfortunately passed away in April (RIP my sweet little baby Chat Icon ), always used to climb on the Christmas tree! She used to love it! She would climb on it, find a nice branch, lay down and fall asleep! She was really tiny though, so she never knocked the tree down. I miss her... Chat Icon
