TIPS ... CAT...

Tips to Keep Your Cat Safe During the Hectic Holiday Season
1. Secure your Christmas tree by screwing a hook into the wall or ceiling and running string or fishing line around the tree trunk and fastened to the hook.
2. Place electrical cords, wires and batteries out of your cat’s reach to prevent a potentially deadly electrical shock or burns from a punctured battery.
3. Tinsel is a real temptation for cats because it’s sparkly and fun to bat around. But ingestion of tinsel can obstruct your pet’s intestinal tract and bring on vomiting. Vomiting causes dehydration. And if the situation is dire, surgery could be required to remove the tangle of tinsel inside your cat and repair any damage.
4. Try to forego breakable tree ornaments. Glass shards can injure cat paws and mouths, and can be very dangerous if swallowed.
5. Candles are very popular holiday décor, but try to never leave lighted candles unattended. Use appropriate holders that prevent candles from being knocked over by curious cats. Take care when using scented candles, especially the food-scented variety, that the smell doesn’t encourage your cat to sample the goods. Candle wax isn’t species-appropriate nutrition for your pet!
6. Pets and sweets don’t mix, so make sure your cat has zero access to holiday goodies like candy, cookies, chocolate and other sugary foods.
7. Beverages should also be kept out of your cat’s reach. Beer, wine and liquor can make your cat quite ill, and can even be life threatening.
8. It’s also a good idea to keep cats separated from tipsy guests. So if the party is getting lively, it’s your cue to tuck your four-legged family member away in a safe, quiet location of the house.
9. Provide your cat with a quiet place to retreat during holiday festivities. Cats especially can get overwhelmed and over-stimulated just like kids do. Make sure your companion has their own out-of-the-way spot stocked with fresh water, a few treats and toys, and comfy bedding to snuggle up in.
10. New Year's celebrations can be a stressful problem for cats, so keep yours a safe distance from confetti, streamers, fireworks and other dangers.
11. If there's a cat on your Christmas gift list to buy for how about treating them to toys that stimulate their hunting instincts or how about a new scratching surface? You can also consider a toy that allows you to interact with them and gives them some exercise at the same time.
12. Did you know many holiday plants and flowers are highly toxic for cats? Holly is one. So are many varieties of the Lily. Mistletoe is a no-no, as are poinsettias. Take a pass on live holiday plants and opt for silk or plastic greenery instead.
