Q:How do I keep my cat from climbing on my fake christmas tree?A:This is a problem I've dealt with myself. First, raise the base of it off the ground (I have mine in a planter on a small stool). When they don't have immediate tactile access to it, they seem to lose interest.
However, if they don't lose interest, resort to the squirt gun (or a new distraction: my cats are currently in a gangland battle over a small vinyl cat house). If operant conditioning can keep most of society acting like good cats, it can do the same for actual cats.
A fun alternative is to get a cat-friendly fake tree with a strong base and encourage their climbing. I may do this next year, as watching cats climb anything is amusing.
