Can you offer any tips on preventing cat emergencies? - Animal Hospital of Statesville
Cat-proofing your house as much as possible can help prevent emergencies. Store medications and cleaning products out of their reach. If your cat spends time outdoors, be aware of the increased risk of trauma. Also, be mindful of common household hazards such as knives in the sink or open dryers, which can be dangerous if a cat decides to explore. Candles can also be a risk as cats are naturally curious. Try to think like a cat and act accordingly to minimize potential dangers. Cat’s are also more inclined to move vertically than dogs, so you may have certain things out of your dog or child’s reach, but your cat is still exposed to it.
