Holiday Cat Tip 7: Look into the Light!

During the holiday season many of us put up strings of lights around our home or on our Christmas tree. Cats can become mesmerized and fascinated with such lights, especially if they blink. However that fascination usually ends when kitty starts to chew on the cords and gets a nasty shock, an electrical burn, or worse. One way to deal with lights is to keep light strings off the lower branches of the tree and areas that your cat has access to. As for cords you can purchase plastic cord covers or spray the cord with a cat repellant (found at your local pet store).
