With the onset of the New Year holidays, many owners are faced with situations when their cat jumps on the Christmas tree, breaking the tree and destroying the toys.

How to protect your holiday tree from an active pet? Let's look at the tips in more detail.

Tree location

It is important to place the tree away from windows, doors, and shelves. Otherwise, it will be easier for the cat to climb the tree.

Placing a tree in the center of the room is also not the best idea. In this case, the tree will be in the pet's field of vision and may also hinder its free movement.

Choosing a Christmas tree

If you have a Christmas tree, it is better to give preference to an artificial one. Thanks to this, the tree will not lose needles, and your pet will not be able to get hurt.

Decorations

Glass decorations can harm your pet. That is why it is worth choosing soft and unbreakable toys.

Cat tracking

Try to watch your cat's actions so that it does not get tangled in the decorations.

When you need to leave on business, it is better to move the cat to another room.

By following these tips, you can save the tree.
