Safe Home for Cats: Identifying and Eliminating Hazards

Dear Scratching Cactus Family,

Today, we’re talking about how to make your home safe for your cat. Felix and Luna are showing us what to look out for to ensure your cat can roam freely and safely.


Remove Toxic Plants 

Some plants, like lilies, ivy, and poinsettias, are toxic to cats. If your cat nibbles on plants, it can be dangerous. Remove toxic plants or place them in areas your cat can’t reach. You can also switch to cat-friendly plants like cat grass.

Cover Sharp Edges

Cats love to explore by climbing and jumping. To avoid injuries, cover furniture and other objects with sharp edges. Soft corner protectors or padding can help make these areas safer.

Hide Cables and Small Objects

Cats love to play with anything that moves, including cables and small objects. Loose cables can be dangerous if your cat chews on them. Secure cables with cable ties or hide them behind furniture. Also, keep small items like rubber bands or small toys out of reach to prevent choking.

Conclusion 

With these simple measures, you’ll create a safe environment for your cat. Felix and Luna have shown how important it is to be aware of potential hazards so your cat can move freely and safely.

Best,
Your Scratching Cactus Team 🌵
