Winter Cat Safety

We’re lucky to be southern cats. We have ridiculously hot summers in exchange for not having snow like so many of our friends up north. But we learned that there are a lot of hazards lurking in the winter for kitties in cold climates, and we’re sharing a few tips we found that humans can use to make winter a little easier on their outdoor kitty friends like community cats who stay out in the cold.

    That’s a great info-graphic. I hate seeing antifreeze in parking lots. Whenever I see it, I’ll try to find dirt from a nearby planted area and cover it so no animals are easily exposed.

    Great graphic. And antifreeze is deadly. It killed a dog of our because she wandered to a place that dumped things and got into some. It causes the kidneys to fail. Good information.

    The first thing TBT does is shovel a path out to the end of the deck. We appreciate that.

    Very good PSA.
    Like you we live in a warm climate so these things usually do not apply. But it is a good reminder for those in colder areas.

    So important to be reminded. Instead of salt we use Safe-Paws on the driveway.

    Cutest graphic ever with super good advice. Bet you could market that to veterinary offices and earn a few more green papers for your treat fund. Ho, ho, ho, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    I was just thinking about posting about knocking on car hoods cos a neighbor did that and a cat came out. The Maple cats have a little igloo on a porch and I don’t think both of them fit in it together.

    We are terrified of antifreeze, knowing how very little it takes to kill. *shudder*
