KITTY ELF AND SAFETY

PROTECT your Christmas tree from curious cats with a few clever tricks.

Kitties love to attack trees or bring down baubles. But watered down citronella oil misted on branches will put them off. They hate the citrus pong. You could also spray a bitter anti- chew product on to stop them chomping on the toxic needles.

Shiny, swaying baubles can seem like toys so hang them up high. And play with your cat twice a day to wear them out and tone down the tree’s appeal.
