Wishing you a kitty safe Diwali

Come Diwali and we get busy in stocking our supplies of decorations, lights, diyas, candles, sweets and crackers. The whole atmosphere becomes heavenly but it can be a stressful time for your feline as these curious beings would leave no stone unturned (literally!). Here are a few tips to make Diwali safe for your kitty dear:

• Do not use decorations within the reach of cats as they can swallow them.

• Do not leave any lighted diyas or candles unattended as our feline investigators can get too close to them    and get hurt.

• Keep all electrical cables away from her reach as they can get entangled in them or chew them.

• Do not feed her rich delicacies, however strong you have the temptation.

• Keep her litter box and feeding area away from the festive area.

• Give her a cosy space of her own, where she can retire at her own will.

• Kitties are afraid of loud noises, so keep them indoors when crackers are lighted.

• Shut the doors and windows to reduce noise.

• Do not forget to spend quality time with her.

• Keep the contact details of your vet handy, in case you have a mishap.

• Enjoy a cracker-free Diwali and spread the word around.
