If you’re sick of your cat climbing up into your recliner and lounging in it like it’s his or her palace, there are a few different ways to get him out. To keep cats out of recliners, you can use different techniques that really work and will help you win the battle for your reclining chair.
Here’re some tips on how to keep cats out of recliner:
- First, put aluminum foil behind the recliner cushion to make it too slippery for them to climb upon. You may need to replace this periodically as they will still find a way around it eventually.
- You can also try making a covering out of cedar oil. If put in a spray bottle and sprayed on the chair’s cushion, Cedar oil will help deter your cat from wanting to get into that chair.
- Put an upside-down umbrella in the back of the chair where the seat meets the back of it (of course, remove the umbrella before using, or you’ll poke yourself). This may not work for all cats and merely annoy them instead, but it’s worth a try.
Other ways to keep cats out of recliners:
If you have a cat who enjoys lounging in the recliner, here are some other ways to deter him from it. You can lay a blanket on top of it and let them play on that until the cat loses interest in wanting to be there.
- When you’re done using the chair, cover it with a blanket so that it’s unappealing for the cat to want to go up to it.
- Try putting catnip on a blanket and lay that blanket near the recliner so that the cat can enjoy it while not using your chair.
