What dangers await a cat in an apartment: a veterinarian warned

The life of domestic cats is comfortable, but not at all safe. The pet is surrounded by many objects that pose a threat to health.

Every owner should know what things are best to hide if the cat is left alone at home.

The portal “ Veterinary and Life ” writes about how to make your cat’s everyday life safe in an apartment, citing veterinarian Edward Wolf.

Toys

We are talking about small rubber toys that are given out in supermarkets. If a pet swallows them, they can only be removed surgically, because "they will not come out naturally."

The same thing can happen when introducing a cat to a hair tie.

Plants

In a house where a cat lives, lilies, azaleas, ivy, and dieffenbachia should be kept out of its reach. These and other plants are poisonous and can cause acute renal failure.

Furniture

You need to be careful when removing the bed on a pull-out sofa. Animals love secluded places, and when assembling furniture, you can block, injure or crush the animal.

Windows

In summer these are mosquito nets, and in winter the danger comes from windows left in vertical ventilation mode.

Decorations

During the New Year holidays, you need to watch your cat's behavior. Animals like tinsel, streamers, and tinsel and they love to play with them. If your pet swallows such decorations, you need to seek help from a veterinarian.
