There are many dangerous things at home that could make your cat sick! Get your house risk-proof before picking up the kitty and always check if there's potential hazards. Keep these hazardous items hidden or far away from their reach!

Dangerous Toys:

Yarn/string- Cats will eat and swallow by accident and could entangle the intestines——life-threatening!

Toys with very small parts/sharp/parts (either embedded in a cage or exposed): only take it out with human supervision. Cats may swallow these and cause problems in digestive systems.

It's always good to keep the toys hidden without human supervision, unless it's the absolute harm-free type (scratch board, etc)
