Cat Health & Safety

Whether it’s home renovations, a holiday party, or even just kids running around inside, changes in activity level around the home can spell chaotic times for your cat. Such chaos increases your cat’s risk of injury, illness, and even bolting out of a door or window. When activity spikes in your home, you can help keep your cat safe and decrease their stress by putting them in a room or area that’s off-limits to others. This can be a closed-off bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, or even the basement. Just be sure to pet-proof the area and give them a clean litter box, fresh water, and a few comfy places to rest and perch. You might also consider using a pheromone diffuser (Tip #39), a food puzzle, and empty boxes … cats LOVE boxes!!!
