Cats And Holiday Safety
 The winter holidays are often accompanied by the inevitable pressures to get a great deal accomplished. We humans have developed coping mechanisms for the rush of shopping, cleaning, baking and entertaining family and friends, but the resulting chaos – even though it's joyful – can take its toll on our feline companions.
Many of the decorations and objects we have around the house during the holidays may be dangerous to our cats. By taking a few precautions, we can make this wonderful time of year a safe one for them. Christmas trees, with their lights and hanging ornaments, may resemble giant jackpot of cat toys to your pet. Most hazardous are long string-like objects such as tinsel and popcorn trimmings. If tinsel or string is swallowed, it can lead to serious intestinal injury and even death. Leave the tinsel packed away and use safer ornaments to trim the tree.
