In that case, peel off some oranges and lemons, hang them around the tree, and place them on the ground all over. Outdoor cats might be more fit and active, and less susceptible to some diseases such as obesity and diabetes. However, there are many more potential threats in an outdoor environment than in the safety of your own home. Cats are often attracted to trees because they offer vertical space to explore and scratch. However, this can damage the tree and be a nuisance to homeowners. There are a few things you can do to keep cats away from trees. Keep your tree away from any furniture your cat could use to leap into the branches. Instead, choose a corner to make climbing more difficult. 11. Use Deterrents I just wanted you to know that I am a big fan of the Christmas tree defender. I used to have such a problem during the holiday season keeping my cat Sydney away from the tree. But last year my worries ended when I assembled and installed the Christmas tree defender. Gone were my fears of fallen and broken ornaments, or more importantly, an injured Sydney. Both Syd and the tree made it through the entire season safe and intact. This year I bought one for my nephew and his cat, Bytes. Thanks for a wonderful product that really lives up to its name.

This behavior has continued even though most cats are domesticated; feral cat colonies get nearly all of their food from hunting. Bird nests present an easy target for cats, and they will eat baby birds, the adults, and even eggs for protein. Conclusion Cat owners living in colder climates with frigid winters cannot keep a water hose connected in sub-zero weather, but they can install noisemakers. Although you can spend a bundle when you have several trees in your yard, most of the noisemakers are relatively inexpensive unless you opt for premium models. To secure it from the bottom, get a type of tree stand with a large base. A solid tree base stabilizes the tree from tottering around and falling over, damaging your house, or hurting your feline.

Animal deterrent sprays based on aluminium ammonium sulphate (e.g. Vitax Stay Off orGrowing SuccessAnimal Repellent) or calcium cloride (e.g. Grazers G1)may discourage deer from feeding but need frequent application in spring and summer to keep pace with new growth. Such sprays may also divert deer onto feeding on other plants that have previously been left alone. If you want to further deter cats from climbing the tree, you can cut a piece of plywood to fit the inside of the tree guard. This will make it more difficult for cats to climb. Electric fences are a great way to keep people (and animals) out of your yard, and they can be an effective tree climbing barrier as well. Just be sure that the fence is tall enough to deter climbers, and that there are no gaps or holes that they could use to get around it. But make sure the twist ties have firm knots so your cat doesn’t steal them and runs away with them because chewing and swallowing them leads to digestive obstructions.

The truth is, both real and artificial trees can be safe for cats if you take some precautions. Real trees can be a choking hazard for cats, so make sure to keep them away from the tree and any loose needles. Artificial trees made of PVC can also be a hazard if your cat likes to chew on things. Make sure to choose a tree made of non-toxic materials, such as polyethylene, and keep it out of reach of your cat. One way to keep cats from climbing trees is to provide them with other areas to climb. This could include cat trees, scratching posts, or even shelves that are placed high up on the wall. By giving them other options, they will be less likely to see the tree as a viable option. As the holidays approach, many of us are starting to think about putting up a Christmas tree. But if you have cats, you might be wondering if it’s safe to have a real tree or if you should opt for an artificial one instead. Keep your cat’s nails trimmed. This may seem like an odd tip, but it’s actually important. Long nails can cause your cat pain when he walks on them, and they can also make it harder for him to stay warm.Finally, make sure there are plenty of other alternative play options for your cat to be entertained. This will help to keep them from getting bored and wanting to climb where they shouldn’t. Invest in a good quality cat coat or sweater. This will help your cat retain body heat, and it will also protect him from the elements if he goes outside.

Use a drill to make two holes on either side of the tree guard. These holes will be used to secure the tree guard to the tree trunk. When it comes to protecting your home from fire hazards during the holidays, there are a few extra precautions you should take if you plan on using a foil under your Christmas tree. While foil is an effective way to reflect light and add a bit of holiday cheer to your home, it can also be a fire hazard if not used properly. Here are a few tips to help you prevent fire hazards when using a foil under your Christmas tree: The most effective way of stopping deer is to exclude them from gardens with netting or fences but these need to be robust and relatively tall. Deer can squeeze through small gaps under fencing or leap over barriers that are too low. While vinyl fencing is a smart choice for a new installation, if you already have a fence made from a different material, removing it and replacing it may be cost-prohibitive. For properties that already have a fence, there are still ways to cat-proof it. Add HeightIf you want your cat to enjoy your outdoor space without roaming too far, consult with a pet fencing engineer. Here’s how an expert can help make a fence cat-proof. While collars with bells have moderate success 1 in reducing the number of animals that cats catch when outside, new, more effective collars are available. Birdsbesafe collars have been developed to work with the birds themselves. Birds can’t hear bells on collars as well as we hope they could, but the Birdsbesafe collar is vibrantly patterned.
