  • Power Cords & Charging Cables — Chewing can cause electrocution or burns. Bundle and cover, or hide behind furniture.
  • String, Yarn & Rubber Bands — Swallowing can cause intestinal blockage. Clean up immediately when spotted.
  • Small Objects (Medicine, Batteries, Accessories) — Store in sealed containers or drawers. Kittens put everything in their mouths.
  • Doors & Gaps — Use door stoppers to prevent pinching. Check inside the washing machine too.
  • Windows & Balconies — Install fall-prevention nets or window locks. Screen doors alone may not be enough.
  • Houseplants — Lilies are lethal to cats even in small amounts. If unsure about a plant, send us a photo.
Don't feel like you need to do everything. Just tackle what concerns you, at your own pace. If you're unsure, send us a photo and we'll advise.
