It seems obvious, but it\u2019s often recommended to let your cat get used to seeing the Christmas tree. More specifically, this means leaving the tree as is for several days before you start decorating it. Once the introductions are over, your cat will be more comfortable with the idea of \u200b\u200bits surroundings being slightly transformed. If you see it trying to climb the branches during this time, don\u2019t hesitate to gently guide it down, showing it that it\u2019s not meant for that. A little tip from a writer at ELLE.fr: \u201cWhen my cat misbehaves, like scratching next to the scratching post, I move it to a more comfortable spot and pet it. It\u2019s a way of showing it that some rooms in the house are better than others.\u201dChoosing the right location for your Christmas tree<\/p>\n
is also important. Cats are adventurous felines, so they won\u2019t hesitate to jump, climb, and explore every nook and cranny to claim the tree. Therefore, it\u2019s advisable to place it in a high spot, making sure it\u2019s securely fastened so it doesn\u2019t fall over. For the base of the tree, opt for a bag, a pot, or a well-filled container instead of a simple log or plastic stand. This will give the Christmas tree weight and prevent it from tipping over. Also, remember not to place Christmas baubles or other decorations too close to the floor. Your cat might play with them, giving you little respite.<\/p>\n
Finally, be very careful with electrical cords. String lights are not without risk. They can electrocute your cat, who might simply want to play and chew on the wires. So, carefully adjust your decorations to avoid accidents. The insurance company\u2019s website states: \u201cIf a glass ornament falls off the tree and breaks on the floor, remember to sweep or vacuum very carefully. These ornaments often break into tiny pieces that scatter very easily. The risk is not only cuts, but also the possibility of your pet ingesting them.\u201d From the garland and the material of the Christmas ornaments to the tree itself, every detail should be considered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
