Many cat owners are confident that they have completely ensured the safety of their pet in the apartment.

The windows are closed, plants dangerous to the animal are removed, packages of household chemicals are hidden...

However, there are many objects in the house that some people are not even aware of the danger of.

If these risk factors are ignored, the consequences can be dire and even tragic.

So, what hidden sources of danger for cats are present in every apartment?

Doors

Many people do not consider the danger of doors to animals.

And in vain, because nimble kittens can unexpectedly run up to the door that a person is closing.

As a result, the animal may end up trapped between the door leaf and the door frame.

So either leave the doors open or close them carefully.

Toilet

Always close the lid of the plumbing fixture: the kitten may fall inside.

Folding furniture

Before opening or closing the sofa, the cat's owner must make sure that the pet has not jumped inside.

Washing machine

You need to make sure your pet is safe before starting the washing machine.

Before turning on the device, check the location of the purr. Perhaps the fluffy one jumped into the drum of the machine when you were distracted for a second.

Window

Some people are sure that the window can be safely opened for ventilation. They are sure: "The cat will not crawl through this narrow crack anyway."

Believe me, even a small hole is enough for your pet to end up on the outer windowsill.

Therefore, do not forget to install a special grid.
