Xmas is coming cat owners

heres a C&P regaridng you cats safety during this cheery period

"The holidays introduce quite an array of new items in your cats environment, much to their delight.

Just remember the old saying ?Curiosity killed the cat?!

They will poke their little noses into everything, taste, chomp, and eat that which entices.

Keep your knowledge of kitty behavior in the back of your mind to help make your festive home safe for your cats .

Trees:

Cats will chew & possibly eat the leaves of real & fake trees. This could be toxic or cause gastric distress.

Water in the tree stand is often treated with preservatives or sugar. Prevent your cat from drinking this water.

Tinsel, if ingested, will wrap around intestines, causing death. Cats cannot gag it out. Same goes for ribbon!

Lights:

Prevent cats from chewing on wires

Plants:

Many plants are toxic, poisonous, or can cause serious stomach upset if ingested. Poinsettias, lilies, and holly berries are common.

Presents:

Watch out for those ribbons, especially the curling ribbon.

Candles:

Flames accessible to cats is just plain dangerous. Try flameless candles.

Scent:

Holiday homes smell lovely but remember, kitties are very sensitive to those chemicals behind the scent (as are some people). Be judicious on their use. Baking cookies & pies smells better!

Table confetti:

Cats may eat the small, sharp edged pieces & succumb to intestinal & throat distress.

Fake snow: Don?t even think of putting this out.

Hope this safety list from Wet Whisker cat grooming helps guide your holiday decorating. Look for cat safe decorative items and have a wonderful holiday season!"

Someone actually spent time posting this on the internet.Is there no end to this idiocy ?

You forgot the bit (for YOUR own safety) - make sure the bird is of the largest variety and cooked long in advance to your needs. Gravy is optional but should be considered.

You can then enjoy your own Xmas dinner :-D
