1. Do not apply any sunscreen or
insect repellent product to your cat that is not labeled specifically for use
on animals.
2. Made in the shade. Pets can get
dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water, and make sure
they have a shady place to escape the sun.
3. Always keep matches and lighter
fluid out of paws' reach. Certain types of matches contain chlorates, which
could potentially damage blood cells and result in difficulty breathing-or even
kidney disease in severe cases.
4. Keep your cat on his normal diet.
Any change, even for one meal, can give your pet severe indigestion and
diarrhea.
5. Keep citronella candles, insect
coils and oil products out of reach. Ingesting any of these items can produce
stomach irritation and possibly even central nervous system depression in your cats, and if inhaled, the oils could cause aspiration pneumonia.
