Cats often do not like their usual routine disrupted in any way. That includes holiday guests and their children! If your cat is not one to socialize, don’t force it upon them on the holiday. Many kitties are quite happy sitting out the holiday in a quiet room.

Another danger for cats during the holidays is accidentally being let out by company or overnight guests. Make sure your guest’s know the rules and do not leave doors open.

And just like with dogs, rich holiday food can be harmful to your cat. Stick to the usual fare and perhaps add a little extra of something that you know your cat likes and tolerates well. Make sure your guests know that they should not feed your cat table scraps. Be particularly careful with chocolate.

For both cats and dogs—DO NOT give them turkey bones! These splinter and can cause severe damage to your pet. As dogs and cats have often been known to raid the garbage be particularly careful with the disposal of the turkey carcass.
