Cats are
naturally inquisitive creatures, a fact that has been noted in the
familiar saying, "Curiosity killed the cat." While your
home may not seem all that dangerous, plants, products, appliances,
and furnishings found in the home can harm a cat. Although you
cannot prevent all accidents, common sense and a careful check of
your home can help you avoid some of them. Just as you would
childproof a home for a toddler, so should you cat-proof a home for
your pet.
