the dangers in house

Anxious the peculiar cats by nature and, are exposed to very serious risks, therefore it is necessary to diminish to the maximum the eventuality of a simple accident or burdens that it can be originated by different causes in a house.

The cat has an instinct of hunting very developed and that turns it a particularly peculiar animal. For him any thing is a pretext to transform themselves into hunter and to start off for the meticulous exploration of each rinconcito of its territory, where until the most insignificant object it can become a potential prey.
It is certain that to sometimes it happens that its curiosity him can play bad a last one.

Unfortunately, many of the objects that a cat can discover in a house can be dangerous; some can cause burns; others, courteous and until sudden or mortal indisposiciones.
It agrees, therefore, before becoming proprietor of a cat, trying to isolate the danger sources to prevent any accident.

When adult becomes the cat is, in most of the cases, calmer and reasonable; but only apparently, because grandparents? of seventeen years exist ?that have conserved the spirit travieso and that continue mordisqueando any thing.

Between the greater temptations for a kitten he is everything what he more or less has the form of a cord or what, being particularly easy to take with the mouth, lets myself shake, mordisquear or drag. It is necessary to say that even usually they are the own masters whom they urge the animals to these games, calling his attention with a tied cork to the end of a cord.
Therefore the electrical cables constitute an ideal prey, since a kitten is very placentero to mordisquear the soft plastic, and the consequences can be disastrous: the cables are crossed and the cat is thundered against. In order to avoid this type of dangers, the cables must be outside their Vista, hiding them under canals or behind a furniture; in case that is not possible, and if the kitten must remain single, he is better to unplug it everything to avoid a short circuit, another form to avoid that they bite cables is rubbing them with soap (previously unplugged the device), when the animal feels the taste or scent, will let do it. But he is advisable to verify that the cable is not bare before returning to fit.

He is not advisable to let it play or take elastic pieces of cord, threads and wool balls of yarn because, while it plays, the cat runs the risk of being entangled, and strangle when trying to be free or ingest causing it intestinal obstructions. They are possible to be replaced by soft cardboard or paper balls.

The plastic bags are ?sonorous? and what amused is to put inside! Attention, nevertheless, exists the ahogamiento risk, can be given cardboard boxes him with several orifices, where they can play without risks.

The kitchen is the favorite place of cat, because in this atmosphere it is where its food uses and as where so incitantes scents spread that they induce it to rise the furnaces to see close by what is cooking.
Hornallas of the gas kitchens, the electrical furnaces and the plates can cause serious burns because, although the cats avoid to approach the intense heat source, the incident can happen when the animal jumps of unexpected.

The door opened of lavarropas constitutes an irresistible invitation to hide in him. Some cats have remained locked up inadvertently with the foreseeable consequences, so, before introducing the clothes in the drum, it is precise to control whenever he is empty.

The readiest cats know very well how to open a refrigerator, it is enough with lying down on a side and making pressure with the back upwards so that the door of magnetic closing yields; most expert they use as a single leg, adopt an air of absolute innocence and to eat!
In order to avoid that they disappear churrascos, fish, cheeses, and, mainly, to prevent that the thief remains locked up in the refrigerator, will be enough with fixing the door with some mechanism of security. Thus complica its handling, mainly when one is in a hurry, inasmuch as there will be to remember to give back to every time to his site the mechanism (naturally, this behavior must be followed by all the members of the family), but is most prudent.

Another object that it will irresistibiemente attract irresistibiemente the cat is the container of the sweepings, because in their interior is many prey: bones of chicken, thorns of fish, but also glass pieces, etc. The best solution is a good cover impossible to open by the pussycat.

Be the house in the first or ninth floor, must protect the windows, balconies and terraces. When jumping with excessive impulse while it is going to visit the neighbor or it catches a fly, the cat runs the risk of a more or less serious fall. in addition if it falls, and it leaves unharmed, the risk runs of becoming lost.

Any sharp object (needles, bugs, nails and screws) must remain outside the reach of cat, and mainly of the kitten; when trying to move one of these objects with the patita or when grasping it with the mouth could be hurt; if swallows it, it risks to a perforation or very serious an intestinal occlusion. It is necessary, therefore, systematically to close the toolbox, the seam basket, the materials of drawing, etc., after using them.

The medicines that are not kept, mainly those that have tablet form, are so dangerous for the cats as they are it for the children.
The curiosity can push the animal to ingest them, with consequences that can go from a simple malaise to a poisoning with possible result of death.

Other products are also injurious; the attraction of the cat by the scent of the lye is well-known and the one of other detergents of domestic use although, luckyly, many of them are perfumed to the lemon, scent that usually displeases the cats.
In greater measurement than other animals, the cat feels attracted by many types of poisons. Being as it is, loving of the cleaning, one often licks the hair and the legs, ingesting by this route harmful substances that can be accidentally present.
If one suspects that the cat has ingested or simply walked over poisonous substances, he is prudent to go immediately to the Veterinary Doctor; to wait for the first symptom of envenenamiento can be fatal.

Usually one says that between the plants and the cats it is necessary to choose. In certain houses it is materially impossible to conserve a simple branch of flowers more than a morning. In others, it is a interior plant the one that will be devastated, with the mordisqueadas flowers and the open Earth. Cats have seen themselves voraciously eat the pistilos of the flowers and, at the end of their floral pasturing, move away the stained snout of rose or yellow yet. It is a certainly original behavior, but it can be very injurious, because the fact to chew the leaves not only damages the plant: the cat can be intoxicated seriously. Some plants of interior or garden contain toxic substances, whose ingestion can give origin to numerous upheavals: digestive, renales and cardiovascular irritation and prurito in the eyes and the skin, upheavals and nervous disturbances.

Between the toxic plants that are frequently in houses and gardens can be indicated ficus, tulipanes, the azaleas, the rododendros and the ricinos. When the cat amuses itself investigating the Earth of the plants, the damage is smaller, although the present fertilizers and plaguicidas in the ground can be absorbed by the cat, which, after its devastating intervention, usually dedicates itself to the cleaning of its legs, ingesting to them, thus, by this route. If the persevera cat in this activity of excavation in spite of the attempts of its master to dissuade to him of her, is better to resign to the plants or to put them outside its reach.
