What To Get kitty For Christmas

Many of us will be thinking about presents to give to cats for the holidays. What makes a good gift for a cat? Certainly anything that improves the quality of your cat’s life would be wonderful gift for him and for you. Really you do not need to spend a lot of money on your cat for the Holiday. Cats are like two years olds, when you can just go the dollar store and make them happy. Not much like my teenagers now days.

Some simple things to think about:

Placing a bird feeder outside a window can be a winner for a cat. If you work all day, how about a bird video for some entertainment. Feather teaser toys are always a big hit in out home. Cat nip is always a plus.

Many cats enjoy playing in empty boxes or paper bags. Whatever you buy or make for your cat, think about her safety. No sharp edges, nothing that can be swallowed (unless it is food) and nothing that can fall over. Be especially careful of strings, Christmas tree tinsel and ribbons that cats may try to swallow. They can cause serious problems.

Probably the best gift that we can give our cats is the gift of ourselves. Spending quality time with our cats, playing with them, petting them or just sitting with them will be rewarding for them and for us. Especially during the busy holiday season, spending a little extra time with our cats can enrich all our lives.

Looks like we had a successful breeding today! This would give us Ragdoll kittens due in 63 days. Let cross our fingers for kittens….

As we prepare for the holidays, we should keep in mind securing the safety of some very special family members – our cats. Their environments change dramatically with new sights and scents as we decorate and prepare for Christmas festivities. We should be aware that some of these tempting delights and decorations can pose health risks for our curious cats.

Many of our holidays decorations are live plants that cats may be tempted to explore with their mouths. Cats should be kept away from dangerous plants such as poinsettias, holly, and mistletoe. Mistletoe, if eaten can cause decreased heartbeat and a drop in blood pressure. Ivy is another common decoration that can pose health dangers . If eaten, it can cause diarrhea, convulsions, and if in large quantities, even death.

One of the biggest cat holiday temptations is the Christmas tree with its fresh smell and bright, colorful decorations. Dropped needles from the tree can become lodged in a cat’s esophagus if ingested making it painful when swallowing. Tinsel from the tree may cause stomach problems or choking. Obviously any broken glass ornaments should be carefully removed so that there are no remnants to become stuck in paws. Ribbon from packages makes tempting cat toys, but be sure not to leave kitty unsupervised as again, there is a choking danger. One final Christmas tree concern is the water in the Christmas tree stand. Cover the tree base tightly with your tree skirting to keep your pet from drinking

Have a safe and happy holiday!
