Cat Health & Safety

Looped curtain and blind cords look like fun, dangling toys to a lot of cats — and many take the bait! But these cords are actually quite dangerous, because your cat can become entangled and even strangled by them. If you have curtains or blinds on your windows, take a look to see if the cord pulls are looped at the end or separated. If they’re looped, either add wall hooks to secure the cords well out of your kitty’s reach, or cut the loop to avoid the danger altogether.
