This should keep the cat from knocking over the tree and trying to eat the ornaments.
At first she was curious, then she felt compelled to attack the tree.
I had a couple hanger bolts with 1/4″ rod couplings from a previous project.Finally found a joist in the ceiling, drill hole, insert hanger bolt and coupling.
Inserted a short 1/4″ bolt through the end of the base.
Bolted the base to the ceiling, inserted tree into the base upside-downily.
Put in a couple self tapping screws through the base and pole for good measure.
O christmas tree. Now cat free.
She likes admiring it now, but doesn’t attack it. Holidays saved by DIY!
That’s not new. I have had an upside down tree for 5 yrs because of the animals. Now the cats hide on top but doesn’t topple.
