Eliminate pendants

Have you considered that the chains of the lamps, the cords of the blinds, or the electrical cables can be a risk for these felines? Avoid at all costs that your pet cat chews on the cables and cords, these can represent a choking hazard.

Identify hiding places of your pet cat

Before leaving your home it is a good idea to observe your pet cat. Make sure it is not trapped in a drawer of your closet, in a grocery bag, or in the drain slot. As much as possible, limit their access to potentially unsafe hiding places. Remember that by nature they are very curious and love to hide. Therefore, the next time you are about to start your car or washing machine, first check that your pet cat is not in or under these appliances.

Isolate the medicines

If you have the habit of having pills in your kitchen or in the bathroom, even in a bottle, it is time to find a safe place for them. A pet cat can even chew through the plastic and cause some serious damage.

Buy harmless plants for your pet cat

Most pet cats will taste the leaves and flowers found in vases or pots. It is important that you learn about plants that are poisonous to cats and make sure you don’t have them in the home. If you already have them, find a safe space for them and for your feline.

Close things properly

Some pet cats have a knack for opening drawers and doors to find out what’s inside. It is a good idea to install locks or padlocks to prevent them from accessing an area where cleaning products, personal hygiene products, or other toxic chemicals are stored.

Consider even the highest places

Cats are natural climbers and explorers. However, their remarkable acrobatic skills do not make them infallible. If you have fragile objects in a high part of your room thinking that your pet will not arrive, be careful. If they can.

Lower the toilet seat for your pet cat

Some cats also develop a peculiar obsession with toilet water. Therefore, to protect your little friend from an unexpected dip or worse, it is important that all members of the family develop the habit of keeping the toilet seat covered.
