A woman has divided opinion after sharing a TikTok showing her 'traumatising' her cat with a Christmas tree.
The footage was recorded by Becca Richards with the caption 'I saw a TikTok that said if you traumatise your cat with your tree before putting it up they will leave it alone'.
The video, posted to her channel on November 29, shows Becca thrust the Christmas tree at her cat, Stella.

The black and white cat backs away from the tree and even jumps up at one point.
The video has more than 32.2million views, 4.3million likes and over 32,000 comments, but has created divide amongst viewers.
One user commented: 'I can't believe someone would do this to their pet.'
Another said: 'Ugh, can this not be a trend.'
Others commented 'This is cruel and I'm going to do it' and 'Please don't traumatise your cats'.
One TikTok user added: 'Genius, trying this with my toddler tomorrow.'
While others said 'Guess who's throwing their entire tree at their cat when they get home' and 'I tried that. She thought it was a game'.
Becca, in another post, clarified that 'Stella is fine' and 'happier than ever playing with her twisties'.
She added that not 'a single bauble, ribbon, bead or branch' had been touched by Stella since the 'traumatising'.
