I noticed a half eaten mince pie on the pavement up the street. And there are fairy lights at night in some of the windows. Not good news for cats. At Christmas 2019 I was quite ill from eating a mince pie. It's the raisins inside the pastry that can be toxic.
And while turkey is delicious, the cooked bones can be dangerous. So can chocolate, alcohol and onions.
As for lilies they are far more dangerous. Even the pollen can poison us if it drops on our fur and we lick it off. My human cuts off the pollen stamens if she is given lilies. And she puts them high up out of reach.
So start looking out for hazards, fellow cats. Next week I will talk about some more Christmas disasters.

Thank you for posting this warning, George! Personally, I think humans should avoid dangerous foods too! And for the plants? Only Mistletoe should be allowed to hang high up so our humans can hold us and give us little kisses :)
ReplyDeleteOh, George, I've got the book! I absolutely love it! Every cat guardian (or slave, to be correct) should get your book! I absolutely love it! Love it! Love it! It seems that my humans enjoy it as well, and one of them won't put it down!
ReplyDeleteI want the book too! Can I get it in the USA or Canada? Bookstores? Amazon? Oh, I'll check to see where I can purchase it!
ReplyDeleteGeorge, hope a bit of roasted turkey breast is ok! Please say yes! Don't ruin my Christmas!
ReplyDeleteNo turkey bones but a bit of breast yes.
DeleteWell, too bad I'm not drinking; otherwise, I would give up my wine for extra treats! So, any idea how I can coerce my humans into giving up counting my treat portions?
ReplyDeleteGreat list, George! Thank you! Is it ok to have canned sardines(in water)? It must be; otherwise, how would I know it's Christmas?
ReplyDeleteSardines are OK.
