How to protect a bread box from a cat

A bread bin is considered to be a container that is used to store bread. To leave the product in its original form, you should close this accessory tightly and prevent moisture from entering. This storage option is the most ideal of all available, since, for example, in the same refrigerator, bread will expire much faster, because aging occurs most intensively when exposed to cold temperatures.

NOTE! Some people also note disadvantages, because such a box most often turns out to be bulky and there is simply no room for it. So if you don’t buy buns in large quantities, then there’s no point in taking up extra space in the kitchen.

Where to put the breadbox so that the cat doesn't find it?

If there are pets in the house, for example a cat, then another question arises. But how to store the bread box itself? There aren't many options, but they are there.

• Hang it on the wall, at the level of a human head or higher, at such a distance your animal probably won’t want to jump, and it won’t be able to, because the bread is behind “closed doors”;
• put in a closet drawer. The difficulty may be that she won’t fit in there;
• place it on a high piece of kitchen furniture. But only if you can easily reach it and do not experience discomfort;
• Place in a wall cabinet with a separately closing door.

How to wean a cat off the bread bin

Perhaps there will be no free space in your apartment and the bread bin will be forced to remain in place, and you will have to form appropriate behavior in the cat. There are several ways to wean yourself from a bad habit.

1. Place the cones next to the protected object. The animal will not be able to move normally on them. The question here can arise only for aesthetic reasons.
2. Buy or make a repellent. To do this, you need to mix liquid soap and essential oils of lemon and eucalyptus (15 drops each). Add this to a water bottle and spray the bread storage.
3. A similar repellent as in the previous paragraph can be made from other oils, for example, lavender or wild orange. The addition will be a delicate aroma.
4. If you have free space, grow plants identical to the names of the oils from the previous paragraphs. This method will be long-term. The only danger lies in the fact that the animal wants to dig up the soil in the pot.
5. When the cat approaches the object, spray it with a spray bottle. Unpleasant memories will prevent you from repeating mischief.
6. The citrus scent can be obtained naturally. Place a few slices of fruit nearby.
7. Alcohol odors are also unpleasant to cats.
8. Acetic acid affects the mucous membranes. No one wants to be near her. Ammonia is identical in properties.
9. Garlic or spices will disgust your cat.
10. Black pepper can be a good repeller. Using your imagination, you can lay out a pattern with peas on the “house” of bread.
11. Make a separate soft place in the kitchen for the animal and draw attention to it. With proper comfort, no one will want to leave there and walk onto a strange surface.You can train them to a place using catnip or a drop of valerian. Just be careful, don't overdo it.

Which bread bin won't a cat open?

If your pet completely ignores all your attempts to drive it away from the kitchen, then, perhaps, you should initially choose a bread bin that cannot be opened. However, its main goal must be preserved. Let's look at the types of bread bins.

To make opening impossible, the lid must be placed on top of the box or be quite heavy. The worst is the one whose lid rises up, and also rolls back. By placing your paw in the right place, there will be no difficulties with opening. From this we understand that a basket without a lid is all the more doomed to failure.

REFERENCE! Another solution could be to buy a bread box with legs.

When the box is closed, there is simply no platform for jumping on, just like there is no cat next to the bread bin. You can also recall the new products on the modern market and purchase a vacuum bread bin. The animal will definitely not spin the various wheels and will leave the object alone.

To summarize, let's say that every problem has a solution. And do not try to shout at the animal or use force. The cat will not understand them, but the resentment towards you will remain.
