This also keeps it safe from thrown beer bottles
Do I detect a Blues Brothers reference?

Also Jeff Healey in Roadhouse.

This year we put ours outside the living room window.
It was causing too many problems with the cats.
What happened last year? I have no cats or Christmas trees, so I have no idea what could even potentially happen.
Cats like to climb things and something with lots of low branches sure is inviting. Results can include a knocked over tree, bent branches if you have a fake tree, and knocked off ornaments.
Sounds like a recipe for chaos and destruction.
Luckily for us, a generous spray of Rosemary extract mixed with water in a spray bottle worked to keep our cats off our tree. My wife also managed to capture a photo of our more athletic cat loudly complaining after he discovered the change. A very merry Christmas for our tree.
hmmm
For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
