Cat-Deterring Holiday Trees

Christmas Tree World's 'Cat-Proof Christmas Tree' Barks Like a Dog

— November 29, 2018 — Lifestyle
Much to the frustration of many pet owners, notoriously playful cats take great delight in swatting precious ornaments, tearing down string lights and climbing into Christmas trees—so this year, Christmas Tree World is sharing a solution in the form of its 'Cat-Proof Christmas Tree.'

The unique holiday tree for the home is designed to distract curious cats and entertain them in a direction away from the decoration with laser lights. Additionally, the tree comes with a sensor that emits a dog's bark when a cat approaches. The Cat-Proof Christmas Tree can be customized with the sounds made by different breeds or customized with a recording from one's own dog.

The comical Cat-Proof Christmas Tree is listed on Christmas Tree World for the extravagant price of £5,000, with each of the novelty add-ons adding hundreds or thousands of dollars to the base price.
