So after the kitten has trashed my Christmas tree by running through it and climbing up it and pulling the lights off it. Me and Hubby have spent today re-doing the tree and adding a 2nd set of lights to it so that they are more spaced out and less likely to be pulled off.
However, there has been quite a bit of discussion as to how many Christmas tree lights you need for the size tree. We have a 6ft white tree and it has 200lights on it, 9m of tinsel and too many baubles to count. But depending on which site you visit on the net the answer you get will vary from 150 upto 700 lights for a 6ft tree. Hubby says he would like to know HOW you fit 700 lights on a 6ft tree!
I am just hoping that the kitten stays away from it. We have tried slices of fresh orange under it the kittenlaid on it and went to sleep. We have tried cinnamon sticks and she just chewed them. We have tried scrunched up tin foil and she just batted it around the floor. We are now waiting on the arrival of scentsicles that are also meant to stop cats from going near the tree but I don't have much hope.
In all the years I have had cats as pets as I have never had 1 attack the tree like this kitten does, most ignore it and walk off.
