The holiday season is just about upon us. We might already be gearing up for the stress of rushing around. What are our cats doing? They’re probably napping and they like it that way.

The holidays change our routines. It’s important to remember that in general cats are not fond of change. They appreciate routine. Parties may take us out of the house more. Let’s make sure our cats have plenty of food and water. Holiday visits may require traveling. Make sure your cat is going to be well cared for if it’s left behind. If you are traveling with your pet, make sure it can be as comfortable as possible, both during the trip and at your destination.

Our cats can find it just as stressful to have a house full of family members and friends if they are not used to this activity. Many otherwise friendly cats may find the number of people overwhelming and hide under the bed. Remember your cats are not objects to be shown off but living creatures. Hiding is their way of coping with stress. Give them space to relax and make sure they have access to water and some food as well as a litter box.

In all the excitement of the holidays and the rush to stuff as much family time in as we can, food is often left out. Remember to cover it. Your cat can’t eat the whole turkey, but s/he would love to try. Not only is this likely to incur your wrath, it can cause stomach problems if the bones are splinter and broken and then eaten. Even if the worst of this does not happen, the over-stuffing of food can put on some extra weight which your cat does not need.

Sweets should never be left out where your cat, might get them. Their systems are not designed to ingest the high levels of sugar that come in most dessert foods. Chocolate, of course, can be fatal if ingested in average to large amounts. Cats should never eat chocolate.

Some Christmas decorations can cause problems. Tinsel can clog the cat’s digestive system if this shiny, wiggly thing is ingested. Unfortunately, tinsel looks like the perfect cat toy to your cat’s eyes. Certain garlands can be equally hazardous. The metal ornament hangers can scrape or poke the cat’s mouth and have the potential to be at least partially swallowed, causing choking dangers.

Additionally, this can clog up the intestinal tract creating further health problems.

We love our cats and want them to be part of the holidays. It’s important to remember that many of the things we take for granted and love can be difficult or dangerous for your cat. Take some quiet time out to just be with your cat and play with them. A nice evening on your lap, getting their fur stroked can settle their emotional distress very well. Petting a cat can be good for your health too, during this stressful season.
