Don't forget your cat this Christmas time and make sure its a safe one for them too. There are lots of lovely things we like at Christmas that may actually be rather dangerous for your cat. Here is a list of things to watch out for:

Artificial snow spray – This is toxic to cats, so make you use it sparingly and make sure it is not too accessible for your cat to get to.

Tinsel and decorations – Place Tinsel out of reach of your kitty so that they cant chew them or swallowed.

Chocolate – chocolate contains methylxanthines and theobromides, which are poisonous to cats and dogs. In some cases it can even kill.

Plants – Mistletoe, Holly and Poinsettias are poisonous when eaten. Place them up high and out of reach of twitching noses.

The Christmas tree – Buy a tree that does not shed its needles. Secure the tree by placing weights at its base and if possible securing the top. Place decorations up higher out of paws reach. Spray the base of the tree with a diluted solution of lemon juice.
