How do I keep my kitten from attacking the Christmas tree?
Get my kitten to stop crawling up the Christmas tree. I have tried putting orange peels in and around the tree. I have tried spraying the tree with cat repellent from Petco, and putting playful jingle ornaments on the bottom of the tree 🌲. None of that has worked. Help please

How old is she? If she is really little I would put a gate around it that she can't jump over. Otherwise try to wire it to the ceiling so she can't tip it over if she climbs it.
We all go through this. Just take him or her down and sharply tell them NO. Just like training human children. Some people use squirt guns, but I never did, not into terrorizing or torturing animals. Just keep at it and they will learn. I have 6 cats and they all learned to leave the tree alone. My house is open concept, so I had no doors to close off so I took the offending kitty and placed them in my bedroom for 5 or 10 minutes. They learned. While they were little I made sure to use ornaments that wouldn't hurt them as I do need to leave the house.
Try essential oils of rosemary or Rue, which cats will avoid.
Get a jar and fill it with some pennies or something that will make a loud noise. Every time she goes near the tree, say NO and shake the jar. She will learn not to go near it.
Thank you so much for the quick response. I will try them all. I have given a sharp no quite a bit but I will keep at it. I do have several essential oils put I do not have rosemary. I do have rose and sweet orange?!?! Maybe that will help.
We had success with spritzing kitty with water from a clean spray bottle when she went near the tree. This after she knocked the tree over a few times.
Hi! For years I have hung bells under the tree. The cats would play with the bells and stay out of the tree. We had a kitty who chewed through the wire on the tree lights. She survived, but, after a very expensive vet bill. That's when we started with the bells. I find they are easy to get and inexpensive this time of year. Good luck!
