In anticipation of the New Year holidays, many families decorate a live or artificial Christmas tree to create a festive and cozy atmosphere at home.
However, if you are the lucky owner of a cat, you may face a problem: your pet can ruin the tree by scratching it, gnawing on branches, and even trying to climb it.
In this article, we'll tell you how to protect your tree from cat paws and keep it safe and sound until the holidays are over.
Perhaps the easiest option is not to put up a tree at all or to place it in a place where your furry pet cannot reach it.
If this method doesn’t work for you, try “calling” essential oils to help.
Since cats cannot stand the scent of oranges and other citrus fruits, apply essential oil with this aroma to the trunk and branches of the forest beauty.
No essential oil? No problem – try placing a plate filled with tangerines next to the tree.
If this method doesn't work and the animal still shows an unhealthy interest in the tree, arm yourself with foil.
You need to wrap it around the tree trunk - cats will avoid the tree out of fear of the rustling material.
Previously, we talked about ways to help you stop cats from shitting in the entryway.
