Playful and intelligent cats investigate objects by touching, chewing and tasting them. Cats love to explore, but need protection from household items that are dangerous if swallowed.
Dangerous Items to Keep Away From Your Cat:
String, ribbon, yarn, sewing supplies and other small household items
Paper clips, erasers, staples, rubber bands, plastic bags and twist ties
Coins, small board game pieces, fragile keepsakes and ornaments
Medication, vitamins, pill bottles, dental floss, razors and cotton balls
Household and automotive chemicals ("pet-safe" antifreeze is available)
Toxic houseplants, including philodendron, mistletoe and poinsettia
Toxic garden plants, including lily, azalea, daffodil, tomato and hydrangea
