Cat Health & Safety

Just like cat litter dust and scented litters, your room deodorizers, potpourri, incense, essential oils, secondhand smoke (including the vapor from eCigarettes), and even colognes and perfumes can irritate your cat’s sensitive nose and lungs. This could cause just mild sneezing or coughing, but it could also result in or worsen your cat’s asthma (Tip #94) or other breathing issues. Keep the use of these common cat respiratory irritants to a minimum. And don’t forget to check and change your home furnace filter regularly, too, as that’s another important part of keeping the air your kitty breathes clean and healthy.
