Christmas and New Year are magical times, full of lights, decorations, and delicious treats. But for kittens—especially curious Scottish Fold kittens—this festive season can be risky. At BestOfTheBest Cattery, we put your kitten’s safety first. Here are essential holiday safety tips to keep your little one protected and stress-free.

Main Holiday Hazards for Kittens

Electric Cords and Christmas Lights

Kittens love shiny, moving objects, but cords can cause burns, electrocution, or even intestinal blockages if chewed.

How to Prevent

Use cable protectors or plastic channels
Hide cords behind furniture
Apply anti-chew spray

Christmas Tree Dangers

Pine needles may be toxic and can cause vomiting or intestinal obstruction. Many kittens also love to climb, which can lead to a tree fall.

Tips for Safety

Secure the tree with extra support
Use a heavy, stable stand
Keep the tree away from furniture that kittens can use for jumping

Ornaments, Tinsel, and Ribbons

Tinsel, ribbons, and small decorations are extremely dangerous. If swallowed, they can cause life-threatening intestinal blockages.

Recommendations

Avoid tinsel completely
Choose sturdy, shatter-proof ornaments and attach them securely

Holiday Foods

Holiday meals often contain ingredients that are toxic for kittens. Chocolate, onions, garlic, alcohol, fatty meats, cooked bones, and rich sauces can all cause serious health problems.

Safety Rules

Keep dishes and leftovers out of reach
Remind guests not to feed kittens, no matter how cute they beg

Candles & Diffusers

Real candles are hazardous—they can be knocked over easily. Many essential oils used in diffusers may irritate a kitten’s respiratory system.

Tips

Use LED candles for safe, cozy holiday decoration

Fireworks and Loud Noises

New Year fireworks can terrify kittens. Loud noises may cause stress, hiding, or attempts to escape outdoors.

How to Help

Create a quiet room or covered safe space
Play soft background music to mask noise
Provide extra playtime earlier in the day to reduce stress

Additional Tips from BestOfTheBest Cattery

Place fragile ornaments higher on the tree
Clean ribbons, packaging, and small items from the floor right away
Keep track of small decorative pieces that could become choking hazards
Offer safe chew toys and scratchers to redirect energy
