I have to say, in the three weeks between losing Pushkin and adopting Marley and Pip, we were happy not to worry about carrying out Daily Cat Precautions. These include, in no special order:
- Leaving food unattended on the kitchen counter or table, or on the coffee table for kitties to get into.
- Wrapping just-used dental floss in TP and carefully place in the trash (can’t flush it; it’ll back up the toilet) so that no cat will swallow and choke on it;
- Leaving no string or thread lying around for kitties to eat and throw up (or eat and sicken on);
- Closing the bedroom door at night so that kitties won’t wake us up by licking our faces at 4, 5, or 6 am in totally adorable, yet equally annoying attempts to cajole us into putting breakfast on the floor;
- Shutting the door to my home office so that neither kitty will chew the phone/electric cords, pee in a corner, and/or get accidentally locked in overnight;
- Putting plastic over spots in odd corners of the house previously peed on (and cleaned; but that smell is impossible to get out) by prior cats
- Covering the "nice" bedspread with an old throw because kitties are bound to upchuck on it at some point...
I’m sure there’s a whole bunch of Cat Precautions I’ve missed. Anyone out there, feel free to comment with your own…
