If you have a cat, you probably think about how she's gonna behave next to the New Year's fir. Suddenly, in the space where she lives, there is a <x0... weed”, full of shining lights, swing balls, and ornaments that look like perfect toys. To the cat, the fir is not a festive decor, but a new object, intriguing and challenging to climb, catch, and, at times, fall.

Fortunately, there are some simple, safe ways to keep the cat out of the fir, without stress, punishment, and no chemical products. The two main tricks come directly from your kitchen.

Cats have a very sensitive sense of smell, and most of them do not endure the aroma of crayons. Lemon, orange, mandarine, or grapefruit can be used as natural “barrier” around the fir. You can place fresh or dried bark near the trunk, on the fir vase, or even suspended as invisible decor among the lower branches. The smell of crayons for the cat is unpleasant and instinctively keeps it away, while humans remain fresh and festive.

Some owners also use light sprays of water where several lemons have been squeezed in, but without excessive damage to the decorations, reports the report. Telegraph, broadcast Periscope.

Aluminium letter text that cats don't like

If your cat tries to climb or take it down, it usually begins from the trunk. Planting the trunk of aluminum paper is a very effective solution because cats do not like the feeling and noise it creates under the paws. First contact is usually enough for the cat to lose interest. Aluminium paper is harmless, free, and easily removed after the holidays.

Additional advice for a “cat-friendly tree tree”

Place the most fragile decorations and the lights above, away from reaching the cat.
Avoid the toy - looking decorations (pupla, long ribbons, very small balls).
Make sure the cat goes well on the base so it doesn't fall down even if the cat tries to touch it.
Give the cat an alternative - new toys or high places to climb so that it does not wander like the only “fid” interesting.
Don't punish cat curiosity is part of its nature, and punishment only increases stress.

With a little creativity and these simple tricks, it's possible that the spruce stays intact, while the cat is quiet and safe. Holidays can be beautiful both for you and for your four - pawed friend. /Periscope
