Cat dangers

Household dangers to cats and feline :

 Here are some usual household dangers to watch out for: 

Rat bait

Most of  people know that rat bait can also poison their cat, but many don't realise eating a poisoned rat can also be fatal .
To reduce the risk of accidental poisoning, put the baits in a place that only the rats can reach. In the roof, between walls and cabins, and along known rat runs are all safe places that your pets should not be able to access. Save rat baits safely in the original packaging within another sealed container, and keep this in a high cupboard out of reach of your cat  and kids. 

Ant killers 

Most of these products  contain Boric acid which is toxic if a kitten  eats a large amount by comparing with his body size. Many ant killers have a sweet smell and taste for attracting  ants. This can be equally appealing to your cat, so always put the killer in places your cat can't get to. Store these insecticides in an air tight container in a high cupboard, out of reach of pets and kids. If you think your cat has ingested ant killer, contact your vet immediately.Try to be carful in this ocassion.

Home office paper shredders 

This is a relatively new danger for your new friends, particularly for cats. Most paper shredders have self-feed and on/off buttons on top of the unit. The machine can often be warm and working, making it an inviting spot for your kitty to lie on, where it can inadvertently switch the shredder on. Cats have had paws, tails and fur caught, whch is really dangeouros so it's a good habit to keep the shredder turned OFF at the wall and only turn it on when you are using it.

Oil burners

The oil that used in oil burners is caustic but can tempt some cats with its smell. If licked , oil can cause burns to the mouth or oesophagus of your kitty that may become life threatening if left untreated . If you think your little friend  has ingested oil from an oil burner, contact your vet immediately. For having a healthy cat and a good friend you should be carful.

Rubbish bins 

Bins are full of hazards and harms, especially for inquisitive animals. If a bin’s door is left open, or can be easily knocked over, pets can pull out dangerous or toxic rubbish such as food wrappers, and cigarette butts, or cooked bones that could splinter and cause life-threatening damages to the digestive tract and stomach. Keep bins covered and out of reach. 

Human medications 

Medicine that's safe for you is not necessarily safe for your little kitty. Some medications like common headache tablets are highly toxic for your pet. If your pet has a health problem, please don’t treat them yourself with human medications, always contact your vet for the best drug. 

Dirty clothes baskets 

Some kittens  are notorious for searching  out interesting smells from unwashed clothes. Dirty socks are especially dangerous and can cause a dangerous  obstruction in the digestive system that requires emergency surgery. If you know your cat is a dirty clothes hunter, keep the laundry basket out of  it’s reach.
