CATPROOF AND SAVE YOUR KITTY!

Recently one of my dear Cat clients had to have surgery after eating a dryer sheet. Another Cat friend got very sick after eating a tissue. This raises the importance of Catproofing your home (it also applies to Dogs.)

Please make sure these items are safely kept away from Kitty Paws:

*Plastic bags: the chemicals in the bag are enticing to Cats.

*Dryer sheets
*Paper including tissue and toilet paper
*Plants and flowers like baby’s breath which is added to Valentine Roses bouquets.
*Rubber bands
*Twist ties on bread and other items
*Any kind of tape. I recently caught my dear Tigger trying to snack on packing tape.
*Medicine especially pills.
*Toys with long strings or fishing line, so your kitty doesn't get tangled when you are not at home.

Doing these little preventative steps can save heartache, sleepless nights and big vet bills
