Health & WellbeingBandit won’t leave the Christmas tree alone and the other animals do, it’s a live tree will it harm him? I don’t want him to get sick or worse. What can I do?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! The tree itself will not harm him, nor will drinking the water. The only thing that possibly could harm him if he eats ornaments, ornament hooks, pine needles or tinsel. That can cause an stomach or intestinal obstruction. You can use a motion detector noise deterrent near the tree that goes off as he approaches it that scares him away. You can confine him when you are not home and use a water bottle to squirt him when he is out. Overall Christmas trees and cats are commonly an issue. I hope this helps and I wish you and Bandit the best!
