Cat Tip 9: Wacky Whiskers - What Do They Do?!
Whiskers are one of the most prominent features on a cat. But whiskers are more than just simple hairs on the cat's face that look cute. Cat's whiskers can be thought of as little sensory organs similar to insect antennas or even human fingers. Whisker follicles are linked to nerve endings which send information to the brain. Thus whiskers allow the cat to take in information about their surroundings in an instant. This is one reason we can observe our cats stretching their whiskers towards a narrow opening they are about to go through, or a toy they are about to play with!

Cat Tip 11: Ear Cleaning Tips
Never clean your cat's ears with Q-Tips®. If you need to clean your cat's ears use a warm-moist cotton ball. Unlike a child you can't always tell your cat to sit still (wouldn't it be nice if you could!). By using a cotton ball, rather than a Q-Tip®, you reduce the risk of poking or damaging the eardrum or ear canal if your cat jerks or moves quickly.

Holiday Cat Tip 5: The Glow of a Warm Fire!

Candles and fireplaces can be dangerous to your cat and your home. Your cat may think the moving flame of a candle or fireplace is an intriguing toy to sniff, investigate, and bap. However a curious cat can become the victim of singed whiskers and fur, a burnt paw, or worse. And your house can be in danger if your cat knocks the candle over. Try to keep any open flame out of reach of kitty, always keep fireplace screens shut, and never leave a candle unattended!

Holiday Cat Tip 4: Under the Mistletoe!

Many popular plants of the holiday season can be dangerous or even deadly to your cat. Mistletoe, Holly and Poinsettia all bring beauty and holiday spirit to the home. However Mistletoe and Holly are actually poisonous to cats if ingested. And Poinsettia, although not as toxic, will make your cat very ill if eaten. If your cat tends to be a plant nibbler try to keep such plants out of reach of your cat or consider purchasing silk flowers instead of live ones.

Cat Tip 10: Genetic Link for Deafness
Did you ever wonder why many blue-eyed, all white cats are deaf? White fur, blue eyes and deafness are all recessive traits. The gene for fur color is linked to the gene for hearing. Thus many cats born with the recessive gene for white fur will also carry the gene for deafness!

Holiday Cat Tip 1: How Cold is It?

Even a cat with the thickest of fur can die of exposure when the temperature drops too low! If you have an outdoor or indoor/outdoor cat and live in a cooler climate you may want to consider keeping kitty inside during the winter months, especially at night. At minimum make sure that your cat always has access via a kitty door to come inside if he/she becomes cold or needs a break from the weather. Cats who become too cold will seek out protection from the elements. And many cats will choose a dangerous place to rest, such as the underside of a car or a garbage dumpster. If your cat uses an outside litterbox you may also want to consider bringing the box inside. Many cats find it unpleasant to use such a box during the winter and may start finding a "more desirable" place in your home. And lastly, if your cat normally spends a good bit of time outside but now has to be inside due to the weather, make sure to provide him/her with plenty of toys, cat towers to climb on, playtime and attention to ward of boredom, anxiousness or irritability.
