Tinsel, ribbons\u00a0and string can cause blockages if swallowed, while glass ornaments and fairy lights can lead to cuts or burns. Choose shatterproof decorations, keep wires tucked away\u00a0and secure your tree so it\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0be climbed or knocked over.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your cat tends to chew cords, consider battery-powered lights with hidden wires or block access to your tree when\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0not around.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Toxic treats and plants<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Some favourite festive foods are dangerous for cats. Chocolate, raisins,\u00a0onions\u00a0and alcohol are all toxic, even in\u00a0small amounts. Keep plates and leftovers out of\u00a0reach and\u00a0remind guests not to share food with your cat, no matter how persuasive their stare.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A few festive plants can also cause problems. Poinsettias,\u00a0lilies\u00a0and mistletoe are common in homes at this time of year but are best kept\u00a0well away\u00a0from curious paws.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Keeping things calm<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Extra visitors, louder\u00a0noise\u00a0and changes to routine can make cats anxious. Set up a quiet space away from the main action with a cosy bed, familiar\u00a0blanket\u00a0and litter tray nearby. Background noise like a TV or radio can help mask sudden sounds, while calming sprays or diffusers can make the space feel more secure.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your cat hides more than usual during the festive period, let them\u00a0\u2013\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0their way of coping with the excitement.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Winter warmth and comfort<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cats love to nap near warm spots, especially during colder months, but some heating sources can be risky. Keep beds and blankets a safe distance from open fires, candles, and radiators. Always check warm car engines or tumble dryer drums before use, as some cats sneak in for a nap.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For older cats, consider adding an extra blanket or a self-heating bed to ease stiff joints.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Plan ahead\u00a0for emergencies<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Vets often run reduced hours over the festive period, so\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0worth checking your usual practice\u2019s schedule early. Find out which local clinic offers emergency\u00a0cover, and\u00a0keep their contact details somewhere handy.
