Take all sensible precautions to keep your cat or kitten as safe and secure as possible. Never let your cat outdoors. There are many dangers awaiting him out there: diseases, fleas, traffic, wild animals (such as racoons or coyotes), cat fights, dogs, and of course abusive people.

Besides,
cats, by nature, are curious creatures. You don’t have to curb
this lifestyle, but you do have to be prepared for it: - Store all poisonous or dangerous materials in a tightly closed cabinet. - Keep toilet lids down. Your cat could fall into it. - Store plastic bags in a drawer where your cat can’t get to them. Kittens love to bat a bag around, but bags pose a threat of choking and suffocation. - Keep household odds and ends, like string, sewing supplies, rubber bands, twist-ties, etc.., away from your cat as they are easily swallowed. - Electrical cords should either be tacked to the wall or wound up and bound so your cat won’t risk getting shocked. |
