#tuesday tips

It can be an annual challenge to protect your Christmas tree from the never-ending curiosity of your feline friend. After all, the stately shrub provides a giant tower to climb, various places to hide, and an array of shiny baubles to play with.

However, the precautions are worth the effort, not only to preserve all the work you put into your display, but also for your pet's safety - this form of holiday decor is chock-full of hazards.

Here are some tips to consider for preventing a cat-astrophe.

ALUMINUM FOIL

Try scrunching strips of this kitchen item into balls and scattering them near your tree; many cats detest foil's sound and feel. Be forewarned, though, that they can adjust quickly to it as well.

CITRUS

Felines tend to have an aversion to this scent, and as a bonus, orange is already associated with the season. So spray citrus cat repellent throughout your branches to provide both a deterrent and a festive aroma, reapplying it when the scent fades.

DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE

Adhere this option to the floor a few inches outside the perimeter of your tree's base; cats are particular about what touches their sensitive paws and may be dissuaded. Just make sure it won't damage the surface and that people don't accidentally step on it.

PARTITIONS

If all else fails, adopt the attitude of a castle owner fending off invaders by constructing a barrier around your tree. Many plastic pet playpens even feature sheer panels, allowing you to still see its beauty as it's being protected.

Keep in mind that you may have to do some trial and error since every pet is different. If you find an approach that works, stick to it - but be prepared to adjust your tactics.
