“A practical and effective method of solving a Christmas worry”
How to keep cats out of Christmas tree
If you have problems with cats taking too much interest in your Christmas tree, and you are desperately wondering how to keep cats out of your Christmas tree this is the solution for you. Although it is only to be expected that all the shiny balls and sparkly decorations catch the eye of an inquisitive cat, and the tree trunk is just asking to be clawed, it is not a pleasant sight to find your Christmas tree and its lovely decorations destroyed when you least expect it.
There is also the safety consideration; if a cat were to pull a tree down, it could end up harming itself. Also, as I discovered, Christmas tree baubles are very easy to smash, and those tiny shards can make a real mess of a cats mouth. There is a second concern with cats and trees, and this one is voiced by many cat owners – are Christmas trees poisonous to cats? Whether you have a real or imitation tree, the real major concern for cats is not poisoning, it is electrocution, or severe injury from broken glass decorations. Whichever of these concerns you most, this product is about to make your day (or Christmas), as it solves the problem, forever.
So, for the sake of your cats health and your own sanity at Christmas, thank the lord for Pet Guardian who came up with this clever product to cat proof your Christmas tree and save your Christmas from an unfortunate disaster.
How the Christmas Tree Defender Keeps Cats Away
This is a mat not dis-similar to the Scat Mat, however there is no need for batteries or a power supply, it is designed to work purely by the clever barrier system design. The plastic sections of the Christmas tree defender prevent cats from climbing up the the trunk of the tree. Cats find it impossible to bypass the sections of the defender as it forms a complete barrier, but also because cats are color blind, they cannot easily distinguish the defender from the tree branches and become frustrated in their attempts to climb the tree.

Christmas Tree Cat Defender Videos
This is bit of a funny video, however you can see how the Christmas Tree Defender is put together. The video does also do a good job of highlighting the dangers of having a cat play on or around a Christmas Tree.
In the video below, you can see a demonstration of how easy it is to install the Christmas tree defender in a few minutes.
Disadvantages
It’s green – if your tree is white, it will be more noticeable – but just as effective!A white Christmas Tree defender is now available from HERE, so you can keep cats away from your Christmas tree with an unobtrusive aid if your tree is green or white!- The defender prevents cats climbing a tree from the base, however if there tables of chairs near the tree that can offer a cat a launching pad – then they may be able to jump into a tree at a point higher than the defender.
Questions
See the table below for some help on setting up and using the Christmas Tree Defender.
Tips for the best results with the Christmas Tree Cat Defender
Make sure you position the Christmas Tree defender between the first and second level of branches and it will be almost invisible and extremely effective.
Also, position your tree away from tables and chairs that a cat may use to jump into the tree to a point above the defender.
The width of the defender must be trimmed so that it is hidden by the branches, around 2 inches (50mm) shorter than the branch length, this is for two reasons; first it hides the defender from sight allowing your tree to remain attractive, and secondly it makes the defender more effective as cats cannot use the outer perimeter of the defender to get a “paw-up”.
