“My cat is afraid of tangerines, so I’ve created a force field.” Most cats are afraid of tangerines, this works awesome. Just place the tangerines around the perimeter of the tree. It works great all season long.
If you’re afraid of your cat knocking over your artificial tree, use zip ties to secure it to cinderblocks.
You can also put down plastic sheeting (the video shows the sheeting still untrimmed) and sprayed it with 3M adhesive spray to make it sticky to the touch.
