Three running faucets,

Two fuzzy mousies,

And a hamster in a plastic ball!!

To your cat, the holidays mean a home brimming with irresistible sparkles, jingles, crinkles, and yummy smells. So keep a close eye on your curious cat/kitten while keeping these things in mind: 

• Cats climb trees, so make sure yours (your tree, not your cat) is secured to a wall, curtain rod, or railing. 

• Tinsel, ribbon, popcorn strings, metal hooks, pine needles, and glass, if ingested, can obstruct or even perforate the intestines. Use alternatives or hang out of reach. 

• Electrical cords, if chewed, can electrocute. Encase in tubing made of thick plastic. 

• Chocolate, alcohol, and cooked bones are toxic and potentially deadly if swallowed. 

• Candles can be knocked over, leading to obvious hazardous results.
