Secondhand smoke has been proven to be hazardous to humans, but it might also become more dangerous for your pet cat. If your cat is living in a house where a person smokes, then she is exposed to secondhand smoke throughout the day and possibly all night too. Your cat will inhale the smoke as well as possibly absorb through her paws the smoke toxins that settle on surfaces where your pet touches or walks on. What’s more, she might also ingest these toxins when she goes to groom herself or other cats in the household. Therefore making your home smoke-free is very beneficial for your pet cat. If doing so is not entirely possible, ensure that you air out the home frequently. Be sure to wipe clean surfaces and thoroughly wash items made of cloth, most especially your pet’s bedding, and areas where she often stays. When smoke is present make sure to cover your cat’s water and food dishes and also always empty ashtrays the soonest
Any sign of illness exhibited by your pet should prompt a visit to your veterinary clinic Thorold, ON.
