Holiday safety
Keep your kitten safe this Christmas
The season brings new plants, foods, and shiny things into the house, and kittens want to explore all of it. A few simple habits go a long way.
1
Keep lilies out of the house
Lilies are extremely toxic to cats. Even a little pollen or a sip of vase water can cause kidney failure. Choose cat-safe flowers for holiday bouquets.
2
Skip the tinsel and loose ribbon
Cats love string, but swallowed tinsel, ribbon and curling ribbon can tangle in the gut and need surgery. Tidy up wrapping right away.
3
Anchor the tree
Climbers will try. Secure the tree to a wall or ceiling hook, and put fragile glass ornaments up high.
4
Mind the holiday plants
Mistletoe and holly can cause stomach upset and other problems if eaten, and poinsettias can irritate. Keep them where curious noses can't reach.
5
Watch the holiday table
Chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes and raisins, fatty scraps, cooked bones and anything with xylitol can make cats very sick.
6
Cover the tree water
Tree water can hold bacteria, fertilizer or preservatives. Cover the stand so it doesn't become a drinking bowl.
7
Hide wires and batteries
Chewed light cords can shock, and swallowed button batteries can burn. Tuck cords out of reach or use cord covers.
8
Give them a quiet room
Guests and noise can be a lot. Set up a calm space with water, a litter box, a bed and a favorite toy.
If you think your cat has eaten something harmful, call your veterinarian right away, or ASPCA Animal Poison Control at (888) 426-4435 (available 24/7; a consultation fee may apply).
