If Christmas is a busy time in your household spare a thought for your cat. If you don't want it to be sick on grandma or need an expensive out of hours visits to the vet try to keep to its regular routine. If you are having a lot of visitors, try in the weeks leading up to the celebrations to get your feline friend used to a nice quiet out of the way spot that it can call its own. Provide its normal food and a litter tray and hopefully the stress will be kept to a minimum. All pets need to be kept away from Christmas decorations, cats are fascinated by the tinsel and baubles so are best not left unsupervised with the tree, but I suppose that applies to the children as well. Rich unfamiliar food can cause problems and please don't give them poultry bones that splinter and get stuck in throats or gut. Flowers are a lovely gift at Christmas but avoid lilies at all costs, the pollen is very poisonous and if gets on the cat's coat and they groom themselves it is often fatal. Lastly how about the poor cat that was let out by granddad three nights running but everyone was so inebriated no one thought to let him back in. Surprisingly he forgave them, and didn't find a more welcoming cat flap down the road. Make sure your best friend and companion gets a little extra care and attention this Christmas.

About Kats & Kits:Kats & Kits is a long established cat sanctuary based in the depth of the UK's mystical Wiltshire countryside, on the edge of Salisbury Plain, near the white horses of Alton Barnes and Westbury. Run by a small dedicated team we aim to provide a home to rescued cats where re-homing is not a viable option. This blog documents the daily challenges the group has overcome since 1994 to provide care and shelter for abandonded, stray and unwanted cats.
