How do you prevent your cat from getting into the trash?

Cats have a tendency to be curious and mischievous, which can lead to them getting into the trash. Not only is this unpleasant to deal with, it can also be dangerous for your cat. Here are 5 ways to keep your cat out of the trash:

• 1. Use a lidded trash can - this is the most effective way to keep your cat out of the trash. You can find trash cans with locking lids or heavy lids that cats can't lift.
• 2. Use a deterrent spray - there are several sprays available that have a scent cats find unpleasant, such as citrus or lavender. Spraying the trash can with one of these can discourage your cat from going near it.
• 3. Place the trash can in a cupboard or closet - if you have a cupboard or closet that you can use to store your trash can, this is a good way to keep your cat out of it.
• 4. Use double-sided tape - placing double-sided tape around the rim of the trash can can deter your cat from jumping up onto it.
• 5. Supervise your cat - if you're able to keep an eye on your cat, you can quickly intervene if they start to get into the trash.
