Dangers in the house for a kitten

Doors almost always present a danger to the kittenor even for an adult cat. Once trapped between the doors, the kitten can get fractures or squeezing, and this can even lead to death. Therefore, if you have a kitten in your house, always carefully watch that it does not get under the closing door.

Any furniture, in fact, for a kitten - a potential source of danger. A little prankster may be under couch, and it is at the moment when you just want to flop on the sofa with a running start. A kitten can get into the laundry box or get tangled up in bed linens. Low furniture with slippery coating or coating of glass especially dangerous. After all, on such coverings, the kitten can easily slip, and it does not have to cling to the claws. As a result, the kitten can fall and get serious damage, including cuts from broken glass.

Any unstable items, such as a table on staggered legs or badfixed bookshelf, are very dangerous for the kitten. A small pet does not suspect that if he clings to these objects for claws, they can fall with him. With such a "joint" fall, objects can fall directly on the kitten, injuring it.

Window or balconies Always attractive for your kitten's eyes. Therefore, if you do not take care of their safety, then the kitten can easily fall out and break. The windows that you open, tighten a strong mesh, which will not break under the weight of the kitten. And the kitten's walks to the balcony should only be carried out under your supervision. Because, although cats are very good at keeping balance, small kittens have not yet fully mastered this technique and can easily fall from a height. Open the pane is better, too, tighten the grid, even if you are sure that the kitten before they do not jump. Leaping, the kitten can not calculate the strength and range of the jump and fall out of the window. Do not let the kitten sit on the open window - the slightest gust of wind and your pet on the other side of the window!

Bathroom and restroom - unexpected places to visit the kitten withYour point of view? But the kittens are very, very curious and even the fear of water can not stop them. From a bath filled with water the kitten can not get out and choke, and even the water in the drainage hole of the toilet bowl is enough for the kitten to drown. Therefore, always cover the toilet with a lid and do not leave the recruited bath unattended!

All cats love heat. AND kitchen stove for them - an excellent source of this heat. Due to the fact that the fur coat of cats and kittens is heat resistant, they do not jump from the fire and can get very burned before they realize that it is dangerous. Close the cooker after cooking, do not allow the kitten to be close to the burners or hot pots and pans.

Knives, scissors and prochite piercing-cutting objects better securely fasten to the stand or hidein a closed cupboard. Otherwise, the kitten may accidentally cut himself against them if he suddenly decides to take a walk on the table. Sewing needles, especially with threads threaded in them, pins, buttons and other small sharp objects, never leave a kitten in sight. If he wants to play with these items, he'll probably get hurt.

Household chemicals, such as detergents for dishes, cleaningpowders, household poisons for cockroaches or rodents, is very poisonous. People know this and always wash their hands after use. And what will the kitten do if he accidentally smears his paws in one of these tools? That's right, he will also wash his hands, but only with his own tongue! It threatens with serious poisoning! Paint and varnish materials, glue, are no less toxic and dangerous for a kitten. A curious animal can easily overturn a jar of paint from which the kitten needs to be urgently cleaned (most often it is necessary to shear all the coat) otherwise the animal will die. Rinse off the paint from the kitten with a solvent is no less dangerous than the paint itself. The solvent is also very toxic.

Medications most often cause a kitten's interestshiny and rustling packaging. During the game, the kitten can bite the package and poison with a medicine, because most of the medicines intended for humans are very poisonous to cats. Be sure to keep all medicines away from the kitten! And do not "give fun for" give the kitten valerian!

Alcohol and cigarettes some careless owners are very fond of treatingtheir little fuzzy. But for these poor creatures, alcoholic beverages and tobacco are several times more dangerous than for humans. Attractive for the kitten, the smell of many alcoholic drinks (for example, the scent of valerian in sambuca) causes him to dump an interesting bottle and try the contents with his tongue. The kitten will poison itself. If the poisoning is not very strong, then the kitten is waiting for a terrible hangover, and with a stronger poisoning - a coma. Even if you do not treat your kitten with a cigarette, but simply smoke in his presence, you make from him a passive smoker. And cats do not tolerate cigarette smoke.

If you have car, always check before leaving, did not hidewhether the kitten under the hood (because there is warm!) or under the car! Keep caring care away from the kitten. For example, liquid-antifreeze is extremely dangerous for the health of a small fluffy lump.

But small kittens, again out of curiosity, can try "on the teeth" and not at all suitable plants for them. The most dangerous for all cats are different kinds of milkweed, diffenbachia, mistletoe, oleander, poinsettia, amaryllis, hydrangea, philodendron, azalea, cacti, caladium. The plants with which the kitten can get acquainted at the cottage area are very poisonous: the hawthorn, clematis, hare, glycinia, magnolia, boxwood, ivy, yew, spindle, aronia, honeysuckle, belladonna, golden rain, foxglove, holly.

But what if the kitten was not saved from the danger and misfortune happened to him? The first rule in this case is not to panic! Immediately check breathing rhythm and pulsekitten. Normal breathing rate for the kitten is 20-30 breaths per minute, and the normal pulse is 120-140 strokes. The pulse should be checked by placing a hand on the inside of the kitten's thigh.

If the kitten is unconscious, put it like this,so that the head is higher than the hind legs and hanging on its side, release the tongue of the kitten, otherwise it can fall into the larynx, if necessary, release the mouth and throat from foreign bodies. If there is bleeding, then apply a pressure bandage. And call the vet, call on the house, help the kitten immediately. In case of serious injury, any of your actions can cause irreparable harm.

As a rule, in dangerous situations most oftenthe kitten falls, which is left to itself. From loneliness, he can begin to explore the most dangerous places in the house.
