Is bitter apple safe to spray on my Christmas tree to deter my cat?

Question

Hi mi cat Luna loves chewing plastic, I keep her away no worries, but since she loves plastic that means she loves my fake Christmas tree. I am not sure what to spray on the tree that is safe. I've heard of using bitter apple, citronella or citrus oils sprayed directly on the tree,are they safe? Do you know of any other product or remedies that would keep my Luna away from the tree?

There are various sprays available at the pet store. Bitter apple is safe and usually effective. Other products may be necessary if this doesn't work and are generally safe if labeled for use as a pet deterrent. Avoid using any essential oils or other products that are not labeled for this use. I hope that helps and this stops Luna from chewing on things she shouldn't.
