  • Summary

  • The holiday season can bring about several dangers for cats:
    1. Tinsel and Ribbons: Cats are attracted to shiny, dangly objects like tinsel and ribbons, but if ingested, these can cause intestinal blockages.
    2. Holiday Plants: Some common holiday plants like poinsettias, holly, and mistletoe are toxic to cats if ingested.
    3. Candles and Flames: Curious cats might get too close to open flames from candles, risking burns or knocking them over.
    4. Gift Wrapping Materials: Similar to ribbons and tinsel, wrapping paper, tape, and strings can be harmful if swallowed.
    5. Festive Foods: Rich, fatty, or seasoned foods from holiday dinners can upset a cat's stomach or even be toxic (e.g., onions, chocolate, alcohol).
    6. Electrical Cords: Decorative lights and cords can be tempting for cats to chew on, leading to electric shock or injury.
    7. Visitors and Noise: Some cats might get stressed or anxious due to increased noise levels or the presence of unfamiliar guests.
    Keeping a close eye on cats during the holidays and adjusting to their environment can help mitigate these risks.
