Fat Tuesday Safety Tips For Cat Lovers

Keep in mind that Mardi Gras is mostly a human holiday and can be dangerous for kitties. For that reason, it’s best to keep your cat indoors for the night. If you’re celebrating at home, remember that it’s your cat’s home, too. They need space to feel safe. Here are a few things you can do to keep your cat out of harm’s way:

• Keep alcohol out of reach of cats. No open containers left out.
• Put kitty away in a safe, quiet room away from the crowd.
• Watch out for drinkers. They may mean well and want to pet your kitty, but they might be a little off balance and cause accidental injuries.
• Never leave your cat alone with beads or decorations that they can chew or swallow.
