Title: Cats and Christmas Tree don't mix...
Post by: Inga on December 05, 2008, 12:02:40 PM
I got to the store today and a lady came in asking if we had anything for a poor Christmas tree that had been sprayed by her cat.I helped with what I knew of, but I could uses some help.

I know there are lot of you with cats.And have had all sorts of experiences.

I would definitely call hers a SMELLY CAT, SMELLY CAT.

My boys don't spray, they just dismantle the decorations.  (Actually the girls are worse than the boys).

I've picked one of our Nutcrackers up off the floor 3 times today.

When my babies (sadly both have now passed) were young they loved to play with the ornaments.  I used to put a couple of plastic shiny ones on the lowest branches and LMAO when they would play with them.

*sigh*

I miss them so.

Well, that's if your cats are using your tree as toothpicks or for a chew toy. Works with dogs too. As for spraying... well, are the cats fixed? That'll help.

The best part of Christmas is the kitties sleeping under the tree.

I have females and they don't spray, but I did have a female who didn't like the litter box....she lives by herself now as the only cat with a friend of my son's.....what I have found that works is vinegar or lemon juice. Either one could be sprayed on. At least try it....but if they don't work...replacement is the only choice. Spray bleach cleaner works too, if it won't take the color out.

I do, but none on the puter right now.
Although, in real life, I can look to my right, and my Murphy cat is snoozing under the tree right now!

Neysa lived to 18.  Musica lived to be 25 -- yes, 25.

They were important parts of my entire adult life.

Thanks, Inga.

Mostly the latter.  She didn't know she was a cat and was stubborn as all get out.  Tough to the end.
