Safe House

The majority of pet poisonings occur in the home. Cat-proof your place as if a toddler were present.

Cleaners labeled nontoxic, or products such as dryer sheets and salt for icy sidewalks, can be dangerous to cats. Antifreeze has a taste that is attractive to cats, but as little as a teaspoon ingested can be deadly. Isolate your cat in another room when you are using cleaning products, especially concentrated detergents. These pose risks to cats when they taste them or walk through the chemicals and then clean their paws and fur.
