kevnz Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 A BB Gun. Everytime one of them makes a run at it pop'em once. Maybe twice to really get the point across. I'd recomned something stronger, but it's probably not a good idea indoors. But if that's a bit much kicking works wonders. Big stick? Again, cat's are dumb so you may have to whack them a few times but they'll eventually learn.But really, you should listen to Jditty, he's right.

skyline Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 There's a product called bitter apple spray that gets animals away if they taste it...If your cats aren't chewing on the tree, though, then it wouldn't do much good.

Bobcat Bengal Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 You can dip them in a barrel full of water, or skin them, kinda like how they did on Gummo. That cat's facial expression was priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkendall Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 There's an invisible spray that could dip around the tree that may make the cats stay away because of the smell. It's a clear odor, so you don't smell anything but it works. I can't remember the name of it though... I'll ask the mother once I see her if she remembers what I'm talking about.

Kirkendall Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Oh, wait, Sky already made mention of it. Nevermind. (I should start reading all the posts.)I don't think it was an apple spray though, but I'll bet it's the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishbengal Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 A black plastic sack should do the trick. Remember: A dog isn't just for Christmas, ......... if carved right in can last right up to New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDey42 Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 i've never had any trouble with my cat tryin to climb the tree...just the dog drinkin the water.The biggest problem we've ever had with our tree could top all y'alls problems. haha.... We got our tree one day and broght it home and didn't bother to search inside the tree for some nests or anything. We just trimmed it and put it up, put lights on it, and all that. That night the praying mantis nest that was inside the tree warmed up and opened. We had HUNDREDS of praying mantis attached to walls, celing, furniture, lamps, etc. Lets just say we check our trees many times before we bring it inside now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
