is this Thursday. To ensure cats are safe and sound...

🐈‍⬛ DON'T FEED LEFTOVERS TO CATS. It might be tempting to give your cat a special snack for the holidays, but human food—especially cooked bones, chocolate, or fake sugars—can be harmful or poisonous for her. Stick to cat treats—you can find special holiday treats in most pet stores!
🐈‍⬛ SET UP A ROOM FOR CATS. Holiday guests in their home can stress cats out, so ensure they have a comfortable room to escape to and feel safe. Make sure the room is stocked with all the cats need—food, water, toys, and a litter box.
🐈‍⬛ MICROCHIP CATS and update your information. No safety measures are foolproof, and indoor cats have plenty of opportunities to slip out of the front door during the holiday season. Having your cats microchipped helps ensure they can be reunited with you if they get lost.
