The ultimate safety guide for cats: How to keep your feline friends safe and happy
Introduction
When it comes to the welfare of our beloved cats, safety is paramount. It may seem at first glance that our fluffy friends are pretty independent and manoeuvrable - and they are! But just as we want our human loved ones, we want to make sure they are safe and secure. That's why we've put together this comprehensive cat safety guide to keep your fluffy family members safe.
The safe flat - a paradise for cats
Just like us humans, our cats' homes need to be safe and comfortable. The following is a list of points that ensure a cat-safe home:
- Poisonous plants: Looks so harmless, doesn't it? But be careful, some plants can be dangerous for your cat. For example, pansies are not poisonous to cats, but too much consumption can harm them. So always check which plants you have in your home.
- Safe places to sleep: Cats love to cuddle and sleep, so offer them comfortable and safe places to sleep. Soft blankets and warm corners are always a hit!
- No small objects: Small toys, jewellery or buttons can easily be swallowed by curious cats. Keep these items safe to protect them.
Safe nutrition - tasty and healthy
Now let's move on to another important point: what our cats eat. Did you know that uncooked rice is difficult for cats to digest and contains a natural pesticide called coat protein? To ensure their health and safety, here are some tips:
- Quantity: Remember to always give the right amount of food. Every cat is different and has specific needs.
- Types of food: Not all foods that humans tolerate are good for cats. Onions, garlic, chocolate and coffee are just a few examples of foods that cats should avoid.
- The right crockery: Always use suitable crockery. Plastic bowls can collect bacteria and fungi. Ceramic or stainless steel bowls are a better choice.
