It's Spring time....time to clean! While you're at it...why not make your house safe for your cat! If ingested, the following items
could be a potential health risk. For example, eating yarn or thread can be very dangerous. These items can easily get
twisted and caught up in the intestines! Paper clips can cause internal puncture wounds and the stuffing in some toys can be
dangerous too! If you own a cat, take a minute to look around your house and make sure that it is a safe haven for your
precious pet! If you think your cat has eaten something dangerous, contact your veterinarian immediately. If you are planning
on adding a kitten to your family, please visit New Kitten, Are You Prepared?
