I know tinsel is dangerous to cats, but why is it harmful? And what about other holiday decorations?

Cats and holiday decorations don’t always mix well. As curious animals, cats tend to explore any new additions to their environment and see many of these shiny, new objects as fun toys. Tinsel is the ultimate shiny object for a cat to play with, which often ends with subsequent ingestion. If ingested, tinsel poses a serious risk of causing an intestinal blockage, also known as a linear foreign body obstruction. This life-threatening surgical emergency can easily be avoided by keeping tinsel out of homes with cats. Other holiday decorations can pose problems to particularly curious cats, such as strings of lights that some cats may try to chew, decorative ornaments or snow globes that look like toys to bat around, or poisonous plants, such as mistletoe or poinsettias. When decorating for the holidays, try to look at your house from your cat’s point of view and keep decorations that look like enticing toys packed away.

Bandit won’t leave the Christmas tree alone and the other animals do, it’s a live tree will it harm him? I don’t want him to get sick or worse. What can I do?

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! The tree itself will not harm him, nor will drinking the water. The only thing that possibly could harm him if he eats ornaments, ornament hooks, pine needles or tinsel. That can cause an stomach or intestinal obstruction. You can use a motion detector noise deterrent near the tree that goes off as he approaches it that scares him away. You can confine him when you are not home and use a water bottle to squirt him when he is out. Overall Christmas trees and cats are commonly an issue. I hope this helps and I wish you and Bandit the best!

My cat has early stages of kidney disease. We have put her on a hills science diet prescription food and she's doing well on it. But I wonder about treats. I don't want to mess with what she eats to much cause her levels are stabled. But I'd like to

That’s good that Isabella is eating the diet and doing well. I am not aware of any treats specifically for renal disease but Royal Canin makes a cat treat that has a low phosphorus and can be given as a treat. Most vets would agree that Isabella could have a single normal cat treat here and there. You do want any ‘normal’ treats to be minimal (like 3 treats in a week) and even the Royal Canin treats should not be more than 5% of her daily calorie intake. Whenever you look at treats, you want a low phosphorus and ideally a lower protein. I would avoid human food as treats. I hope this helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco.

I was wondering if you could give me information of at home, last minute, cat calming remedies. With all the holiday craze I have total forgot about my cats terrible social anxiety with other people. I have a cat calming jell that I would give him bu

I definitely understand your concerns! Unfortunately, cats are quite sensitive to most human medications and there is really nothing you can use that would be likely to be on-hand at your house. Some owners have good luck with a natural calming supplement like Composure, Rescue Remedy, or a Feliway pheromone diffuser for these situations, but you would need to find an open store that carries a good selection of pet supplies and make a quick trip out to try and find these things.

I believe that my cat chewed on the Christmas tree. He vomited up clear liquid (no needles), but he is uncomfortable and does not want to eat. He allows me to pick him up, but is preferring to lie in front of the woodstove.He is a chewer when he gets

Since he is uncomfortable and unwilling to eat, I think it would be a good idea to get him seen as soon as possible. Oils from fir trees can irritate the inside of their mouths, causing drooling and vomiting and ingested pine needles can collect together creating an intestinal obstruction or potentially puncture the intestine, leading to a painful condition called peritonitis. I feel it would be best to get him seen in case he gets worse or perhaps ate something else you weren't aware of. As you probably know, cats cannot go for long without eating before developing hepatic lipidosis, or fatty liver disease. Your vet will do an exam, possibly x-rays and labwork, and based on these results, will be better able to tell you what is wrong and how best to treat it.
