Kitten-Proofing Your Home


Making your home kitten-proof is a lot like making it childproof.  Check every room to ensure that your new kitten cannot get herself in trouble or play with something hazardous.  Begin with spots where you might expect a kitten to spend most of her time.

Check for breakable items that might become a temptation to your new pet.  Firmly affix any breakables so they cannot get toppled or store them away.  Do not assume that placing them on higher shelves will do it.

Evaluate hanging textiles such as draperies.  Kittens like climbing and they will practice with their claws on any material.  Cords of mini-blinds have to be secured.  Your kitten might mistake them for toys and get herself tangled.

Make sure that the flowers and plants that you keep are not toxic to cats.  The ASPCA has a list of safe and unsafe plants.

Check for any frayed edges on furniture and carpets because they can easily become chew toys.  Kittens like chewing on a string.  If swallowed, this might

become a fatal blockage in their intestinal tract.  Ensure that there are no pieces of ribbons, yarn, thread, or string lying around on the floor.

If you have any questions or concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior,  don’t hesitate to contact your animal clinic Pasadena, MD. Set an appointment here: https://www.glenburnievet.com/.
