House can be dangerous places for cats, make sure yours is safe. Here are some do’s and dont’s.
Do’s: Tke special care if your live in a high flat or near a busy road. Keep doors shut and consider putting mesh on windows that are open a lot.
Check that you don’t have plants that are poisonous to cats. Most common of them are: alfalafa,almond, many varieties of cherry, daffodil, misteltoe, marigold etc.
Make sure that everybody in your family puts away potential hazards, such as poisonous cleaning fluids, sharp knives etc.
Buy a scratching post to stop your cat damaging furniture at home.
Fit a cat flap in your door. Cats love exploring outside, where they can get some exercise and go to toilet. Your cat can use the flap to pop in and out when it wants.
Dont’s: Don’t leave electrical cables lying about-tuck them away so your cat can’t chew them and get an electric shock.
Don’t turn on the washing machine without checking your cat hasn’t climbed inside.
Don’t leave human food uncovered on table or units-your cat could jump up and eat it, which is unhealthy.
Don’t display a precious object where your cat can jump up and accidentally knock it off.
