Buy A Half Christmas Tree To Keep Your Cat Off The Naughty List
Holiday decorating gets tricky fast when pets are involved, and this Christmas tree takes that problem head-on. Instead of starting at the floor, its branches begin halfway up, giving cat owners a quirky way to keep ornaments, tinsel, and tangled paws out of reach.
The design is practical, a little unusual, and exactly the kind of thing that gets people talking during the holidays. For anyone who has ever found a cat climbing where it absolutely should not be, this tree feels like a very specific kind of relief.
It is a clever fix, but not everyone will agree on whether it is festive or just funny.
Argos’s “keep cats off the presents” idea also sounds like the cat owner who found a hollow in his cat’s basket-shaped scratching post.
The tree is made by Argos, and the product description reads:
"Keep your perfectly placed baubles, bows, and bells out of reach of curious, crawling kids or your cat's playful paws with this 6ft parasol tree. If Santa's been extra generous, there's plenty of room to stack presents underneath rather than scattering them around it. It's also a great alternative to the traditional tree if you're a bit tight on space."

What do you think? Would this unique parasol-shaped tree cut down on the amount of mischief caused in your house? Or would such a tree just make your pets more determined to destroy it?
