Household Dangers

Avoiding Cat-astrophes

  • Many objects used as cat toys - wool, string, rubber bands, aluminium foil - can be extremely harmful if swallowed.
  • Cats love to sleep in warm, dark places, so close drawers and cupboards - your pet might suffocate if trapped.
  • A cat looks adorable with a ribbon tied around its neck... but it could get caught and choke your pet.

Home for the holidays

  • Tinsel and icicles, Christmas tree lights and glass ornaments will be sure to tempt your pet's curiosity - but all could be lethal if chewed or swallowed.
  • Poinsettia, holly and mistletoe are poisonous to your pets.
