FAQs
What do cats like for Christmas?
Most cats love treats, catnip, things to chase and a warm place to hide. A cat advent calendar, a catnip mouse and a cosy cat cave cover all of those.
Which Christmas plants are dangerous for cats?
Lilies are the most dangerous, as even a small amount of pollen can cause kidney failure in cats. Poinsettia, mistletoe and holly can upset your cat’s stomach, and tinsel or ribbon can cause blockages if swallowed. If you’re worried, ring your vet straight away.
What’s a good Christmas gift for an indoor cat?
Toys that get them moving, like a wind-up mouse or teaser wand, and a cosy cave to retreat to when the house gets busy.
