40 Genius People Who Found A Way To Protect Their Christmas Trees From Asshole Cats And Dogs
What would Christmas be without the beloved and highly ornate Evergreen tree? Without it, where would Santa leave his presents? Keeping your Christmas decorations safe and sound until the gifts come is an easy task if you live in a pet-less household, but if you're an owner to an evil cat named Mr. Mittens or a funny dog named Scruffy, it might become a mission impossible.
From your point of view, the Christmas tree is almost sacred - you've spent at least a couple of hours searching for the perfect ornaments, then a couple more decorating it and a couple more admiring the final result. From your pets point of view, you've just set up a fantastic scratching post, high-jump training area or a snack bar, depending on the given critters taste. Anyways, what follows next is a destroyed tree lying on the floor with broken Christmas tree decorations all over the place with a culprit of it all being the funny cat, revenging on you naming him Mr. Mittens. The good news is that with simple hacks shown in the pictures below, it's no longer necessary for you to choose between having a pet OR having a fabulous Christmas tree.
Now go ahead and check our collection of ideas on cat-proof Christmas trees!

A Cat Proof Christmas Tree

At first glance, i thought that middle thing was a cat paw reaching up, and started to laugh, then immediately realized it wasn't, and felt disappointed. Such a vast array of emotions in such a short time.

My cats don't really care about the tree, guess I'm lucky :P Did find an ornament or 2 whacked out of the tree last year. And this year one cat was very interested in the new plastic snowflakes for about 5 min :P I even got bird and butterfly ornaments and they don't even look at them.

Same here. He likes to lay under it tho. With the previous cat I tied the tree to a bookshelf after the third time of putting it back up.

My cats didn't care for the christmas tree. I found one of my cats 1 time on the branch, he was scolded and it never happened again for 17 years. The only thing we could not put out was "lameta" - thin metail foil cut into long shreds, popular in Poland instead of chains. The cats considered it as grass-type of food, which could have ended in tragedy as it could cut their insides. But we knew better, never put it up while kitties were living. So all in all I consider myself lucky - my pets weren't asshats and I could have a wonderful huge christmas tree :)
