PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE… Just because we humans like to indulge in the
feast does not mean it is good for our cats.
Rich, fatty foods can seriously upset your cat's
stomach and even be toxic. It is especially
important to keep your cat away from the
following dangerous foods: Onions, which can
cause anaemia (high levels of garlic can,
too), grapes and raisins, chocolate, bones
(especially cooked bones and ANY poultry
bones), alcoholic beverages and any foods
high in fat, sodium and/or sugar.

BUYING A
LIVE PET

• It is easy to succumb to the
adorable puppies, kittens and
bunnies who appear in pet
store windows at this time of
year. Pressure from a child is
a temptation for parents but
spur of the moment
purchases often end in
abandonment for those pets
who are dumped in pounds
when the novelty wears off.

Adopting a baby animal is a
LONG TERM COMMITMENT
not to be taken impulsively. A
better option for Christmas gift Sadly, the novelty wore off….
for a child? A cute, cuddly toy
or a book about caring for pets.

CHRISTMAS
CANDLES

• Place candles on high shelves,
away from curious noses and
playful paws. Your pet can be
seriously injured if a candle ignites
his tail or his fur. Emergency
treatment for cats with burns is
costly and if the burns are severe, Telephone: 9890 7220
they can be fatal to your pet.
