All of the Easter holiday joys come with potential safety hazards that can harm your cat. Here are some safety concerns to be aware of for your cat on Easter.
- Chocolate can be toxic or even fatal to your cat. Be sure to keep all chocolate treats in a safe place away from your cat.
- All parts of the Easter Lily plant are very toxic to cats. If your cat consumes even a small amount of the plant, flowers, or water the plant is in, it can cause severe poisoning and kidney damage.
- Holiday dinners can also cause illness to your cat. Onions, grapes, and raisins can be toxic. Table scraps should not be fed to your cat as even non-toxic foods can cause gastrointestinal upset.
- Cats often chew or eat fake Easter grass that is inside the Easter basket. Ingestion of Easter grass can cause serious complications and obstructions which may require surgery.
- Alcohol can be very dangerous to your cat. Make sure to keep all drinks, used cups, and even empty cans in a safe place where your cat cannot get to them.
- Your cat may slip outside when guests come over for Easter. Keep a close eye on your kitty when people are coming and going.
Keep these tips in mind during the upcoming holiday and have a happy Easter!!
