According to an article from Hometalk.com, this simple "Holiday Hack" can help you keep cats from swiping your Christmas ornaments off your Christmas tree. So here is what you can do.

Holiday Hack

Cats love to go after your tree but you can outsmart them using a simple home remedy like "Vicks". Cats dislike strong aromas like menthol (Vicks) and citrus. So having just a little Vicks near your ornaments may deter them from going after the ornaments.

• First, get a pack of the little felt chair leg pads. The small felt circles with a sticky side on the back.
• Rub "Vicks" or use an essential oil (Menthol or Citrus) on the felt.
• Stick the pack on the back or bottom of your Christmas ornaments.
• Now the ornaments have this scent when your kitty goes near your tree.

See how this hack works for you. The smell of Vicks in winter is actually very nice. Let us know if you tried this holiday hack and if it worked for you. Merry Christmas.
