How to Keep Cats Out of Christmas Tree
Introduction
Cats and Christmas trees have an interesting relationship. Your cat might think that the tree is a giant scratching post, and they might try to climb it, play with its decorations, or even knock it over. To keep your cat from wreaking havoc on your Christmas tree, there are some things you can do.
Choose a Stable Tree
The most important thing to consider when buying a tree is its stability. A tree that can easily be knocked over by your cat is not the best choice. Look for a tree with a wide base so that your cat doesn’t have a chance to knock it over. You also want to make sure the tree is securely anchored in its stand.
Keep the Tree Out of Reach
To keep your cat away from the tree, make sure it is in an area that your cat can’t easily access. Put the tree in a corner that is blocked off with furniture or in a room that you can close off. If you have to keep the tree in the living room, you can put a baby gate around it to keep your cat away from it.
Keep Cats Away with Deterrents
You can also use deterrents to keep your cat away from the tree. Putting a little bit of cayenne pepper or citrus oil on the tree can help to keep your cat away. You can also buy motion-activated deterrents, like a water sprayer or an ultrasonic device that will scare your cat away from the tree.
Provide Other Entertainment
Your cat might be drawn to the tree because it offers them something to do. To reduce your cat’s interest in the tree, make sure they have plenty of toys to play with. You can also set up a small tree in an area that your cat can access so they can enjoy their own Christmas tree.
