Adopting a kitten or cat from an animal shelter or local rescue group can be fun and exciting but temper your enthusiasm with a dose of safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our pet first aid\/CPR classes I team with the help of Pet Safety Cat Casey, I alert my students that cats are not small dogs. Cats are uniquely both prey and predator with flexible spines, sharp claws and a curious nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are nine ways to ensure your home is safe for your indoor cat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Store thread, balls or yarn, dental floss and other types of string in drawers and other places your cat cannot access. Cats are attracted to these items and swallowing any of these can cause choking and possible internal injuries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Keep the dryer door closed between laundry loads. Some cats like to nap in dark, warm places.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Block off areas behind heavy furniture, such as the refrigerator or a big bookcase that your explore-minded cat might become stuck.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Inspect your window screens to make sure they are sturdy and will not pop off if your new feline leans against it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Enclose electrical cords in PVC tubing to keep chew-happy cats from harm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Install baby locks on cabinets where you store household cleaners and other sprays to prevent accidental poisoning.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Make sure you do not have any indoor plants that are poisonous if nibbled on by your new cat. Topping the list are lilies, tulips and aloe vera.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Check under your recliner or rocking chair before you sit down.\u00a0 Your new cat may be napping under the rocking chair or inside the recliner<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Be aware that popular people food like chocolate, grapes, raisins and sushi are toxic to cats who can suffer serious health issues, such as vomiting, seizures and kidney failure.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Parting tip:  do a room-by-room inspection monthly to identify any safety hazards to your new feline friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
