Holiday Pet Toxins The holiday season is a time for celebration but with the curiosity of cats, it can become a time of trouble as they wander thru the house checking out all the new decorations. Some things to watch out for are: artificial snow, snow spray, snow flock, Styrofoam, icicles and angel hair as they are all toxic to cats. (Angel hair is considered to be a low toxicity but it can irritate eyes, skin and the gastrointestinal tract. String, ribbon or tinsel if swallowed has the potential to cause painful intestinal problems. Cats also have a knack for chewing on light cords, especially if they are frayed. This can cause shock or burns. Plants pose a danger as well: Poinsettia leaves and stems, holly berries and the leaves and mistletoe are all toxic. So remember to keep these plants out of harm's way during the holiday season!
