It can make a cat owner feel hopeless and sometimes furious when the tree becomes damaged.
Tips and Tricks to Keep your Festive Decorations Safe
How can you deter cats from bothering these full artificial Christmas trees? There are several ideas that cat owners have used in the past that you may find helpful in your home:

– Put items around the tree that are going to deter the cat from nothing the tree.
– Do not let ornaments hang from the bottom branches. This is like an open invitation for the cat to start batting these and knocking them off.
– Put aluminum foil around the base of the tree. Many people find that cats do not like the feel of this, so they start to avoid the tree.
– Be sure that cords are not hanging from the tree either, as this is just like the ornaments…it is a huge attraction for cats.
– Use repellants on the tree that cats do not like. This can be one of the biggest ways that you can keep cats from climbing and knocking over the tree.
