5 Tips to Keep Curious Cats Away from Christmas Trees
Veterinary behavior specialist Tabitha Kucera shares five practical tips to keep curious cats away from Christmas trees, ensuring both pet and decoration safety.
Firstly, Kucera suggests providing cats with their own greenery, such as cat grass, to deter them from nibbling on the tree. Secondly, she advises placing a sturdy and tall scratcher in the same room as the tree to distract cats from climbing it.
To make the tree more stable and less likely to be toppled, Kucera recommends securing it with a wide and sturdy base, and additional supports. She also suggests using baby gates and pens around the tree to keep pets and children safe and prevent accidents.
By following these tips, cat owners can enjoy a safe and stress-free Christmas. Providing alternative greenery, distractions, and securing the tree can help keep both pets and decorations safe during the festive season.
