Is Your House Cat Proof

Before bringing home a cat, you should make sure your house is safe for the cat. Cats are intrigued by many things including, but not limited to thread, yarn, power cords, plants and anything that moves such as curtains being blown by heating or cooling vents.

To make sure your cats will remain safe, you need to put away anything that will attract the cat or put any plants up high away from tables and chairs so the cat cannot reach them. Cats are adventurous creatures and want to explore and will get into trouble.

Cats will naturally chew on cords if they are not secured. The best thing to do is to hide the cords as best you can and then provide enough toys for the cat to play with instead of seeking out something that is bad for them.

Make sure the oven or stove burners are always turned off when not in use. Many cats seek out heat and can be severely injured if they were to jump on the stove for heat. Treat your home the way you would if you were bringing home a new baby. They can get into just as many things as a baby can and it could result in injury.
