The holiday season can bring about several dangers for cats:
show less
- Tinsel and Ribbons: Cats are attracted to shiny, dangly objects like tinsel and ribbons, but if ingested, these can cause intestinal blockages.
- Holiday Plants: Some common holiday plants like poinsettias, holly, and mistletoe are toxic to cats if ingested.
- Candles and Flames: Curious cats might get too close to open flames from candles, risking burns or knocking them over.
- Gift Wrapping Materials: Similar to ribbons and tinsel, wrapping paper, tape, and strings can be harmful if swallowed.
- Festive Foods: Rich, fatty, or seasoned foods from holiday dinners can upset a cat's stomach or even be toxic (e.g., onions, chocolate, alcohol).
- Electrical Cords: Decorative lights and cords can be tempting for cats to chew on, leading to electric shock or injury.
- Visitors and Noise: Some cats might get stressed or anxious due to increased noise levels or the presence of unfamiliar guests.
