Cats Love Holidays and Holiday Decorations
When the holiday season begins in November, many people are busy cooking and cleaning. Relatives will be visiting from out-of-town which means “Mr. Snuffles” may find himself shaking and hissing in the corner, trying to avoid your nieces and nephews. Gotta love family!
Keep your cats safe for the holidays. Family, friends, and their children may stay at your home; politely tell them that Mr. Snuffles does not like to be handled by small children. This will keep the children and Mr. Snuffles safe.
When you put up the Christmas tree, make sure it is secure. Cats love to climb trees, and they’ll think that you bought the tree just for them! Make sure you place a tree skirt around the tree and keep an eye on the water level. Cats may think that the tree water is another water dish for them. Yuck!
Tips and Tricks
- Keep holiday decorations away from cats. They could digest the garland from the Christmas tree and have to go to the veterinarian;
- Put food away in refrigerator so you cats do not feast on your meal; they could get sick;
- Make sure you tell family and friends that your cats do not like to be held;
- Give your cats plenty of toys to keep them occupied while you have guests visiting your home. They’ll probably run and hide anyway!
The holidays are a time to bring out all of the decorations from the attic or closet. From shiny Christmas ornaments to a Menorah. Make sure your decorations are out of reach; otherwise you may find it on the ground in pieces.
Cats love to climb Christmas trees. You may consider purchasing an artificial tree. This way you’ll have it for more than one Christmas, that’s provided that your cats do not take it down!
