Sundance is back to His Kitty tree climbing. My tree has a new look everyday, ornatments on the floor. I tried doubled sided sticky tape around the tree and tin foil. The tin foil worked pretty good kept him away but it was really tacky looking so I took it today because he now goes into the tree without stepping on the foil. I figured out he climbs the tree once a day and that's it. He is too big to climb down so all of a sudden you see this cat come popping out the middle of the tree. I also have 2 8 lb. weights on the base of the tree. My advice is to give up! These cute little critters will get around whatever you do. Good Luck.
