Making Sure Your Pets Have A Safe and Happy Holiday
The holidays are a wonderful time of year, but it’s important to keep your pet’s safety in mind. Here are some safety tips to ensure your pets enjoy a safe and happy holiday season:
- Many cats enjoy batting ornaments that are hanging on the tree. If your feline is one of them, don’t hang breakable ornaments within your cat’s reach.
- Watch out for candles. Dogs and cats can be curious and get too close to the flame or knock the candle over, so be sure candles are out of your pet’s reach.
- This time of year there are many snacks around that can be hazardous if ingested by your pet, so as spelled out above, don’t leave snacks like chocolate anywhere your pet can reach them.
- Electrical cords can be fun for cats or dogs to chew on, so be sure to cover electrical cords to prevent your pet from chewing on them.
- Tinsel can be another fun toy, especially for cats, but can be very hazardous if eaten, so be sure your pets aren’t able to get to them.
- This can be a very hectic time of year with many visitors coming and going, and this change in routine be can very stressful for your pets. If your pet is particularly shy, be sure he has a quiet room to go to for a break from the action.
- Be sure visitors are aware of rules regarding outside time for your pets. With many people in and out, pets can sneak out quickly, so don’t leave doors open to make it tempting for a pet escape.

Now that the Thanksgiving feast is over…
Party Marty here, barely moving, as even thinking is an effort at this point. Boy! I don’t know about you, but I sure made the most out the Thanksgiving feast today. I can give new meaning to the term “fat cat,” if onlytemporarily! I am just laying here, half asleep at the computer keyboard.
Just thought I would dish out a few more fun cat facts for you before I doze off:
1.) Cats can walk on their toes. (Not me. Not now. Too fat and too full)
2.) Cats have the largest eyes in proportion to their body size of all animals. (But if you saw my body today, you’d suspect otherwise! “Man vs. Food” had nothing on me today!)
3.) Cats have existed longer than humans! (So why aren’t we celebrating Catsgiving?)
4.) Cats urine glows under a black light. (Note to self: keep it in the litter box from now on!)
5.) Cats can jump five times their height. (That may be true, but right now, I could fall right to the floor. That’d be impressive, right?)
Well, I better get some sleep because tomorrow is Black Friday and I want to be first in line at the pet store and at the computer store. I need a new mouse! What? I do need one! This one I am using with my computer isn’t working well. It’s tail keeps getting in the way!
Gotta go! A cat nap is way over-due. Thanks to cat-world.com for sharing this info!
Cats and Table Scraps Don’t Go Together
Jessie, the adorable dog who knows more than the cat around here: Hi! I am back on the scene. I have been laying low for awhile, but now that the holidays are in full swing, I decided to speak my mind and enjoy the results! So, in preparation for the first big feast of the season, THANKSGIVING, I just wanted to put the word out there that it is probably best that you don’t give any table scraps to those cats wandering around your home. Sure, your cat may beg and purr and bat those pretty little eyes at you…but DON’T FALL FOR IT! Giving table scraps to your cat is never a wise idea.
For example, turkey and chicken bones are dangerous, as they can splinter and potnetially puncture the intestines or the stomach. Further, most table scraps are far too fatty for your cat’s delicate digestive system. As for chocolate, I think it’s pretty well-known that such a tasty treat can prove to be highly toxic to your cat….and your dog!
When putting out the trash, by the way, be sure to seal it up tightly so as not to encourage your cat to poke around and make dinner for himself. (And if the dog gets into it, well, he’ll probably blame the cat anyway!)
As for the family dog, most of these rules still apply, but we won’t argue with you if you want to toss us a bite of turkey or a few green beans. The cat doesn’t have to know. Besides, the one over here will probably be locked in the closet. (Oops! Did I say that? Just kidding!)
Happy Almost Thanksgiving!

What if You Should Predecease Your Pet?
The Spirit of Bo, returning to enlighten my readers: Although I have been gone for awhile now, I hope I am never out of mind. Jessie and Marty are doing well with this blog, but sometimes I just have to make an unexpected appearance. Since my passing, I have been busy looking over Jessie, Marty, and my human Karen. I thought this blog post would be a fitting one from me, as it speaks to what could happen to your pet(s) should you predecease them.
A good rule of thumb is to carry an animal card with you. If you are injured or die suddenly, this card will alert medical personnel or anyone taking care of you that you have a pet that needs food, water, and attention back home. The card should include information as to your pet’s name, the kind of pet, where the pet is, and any special instructions as to the care of your pet. It is also advisable to list the contact information for your veterinarian on the card.
If you want to provide for your pet’s care after your death, consider naming a human beneficiary who can receive funds to care for and cover your pet’s expenses after your death. Of course, be sure to discuss this with the named beneficiary to make sure he or she is agreeable to it.
While it is not always easy to think about death, being prepared for the unexpected helps! (Besides, I bet you didn’t expect me to show up today, did you?)
