Posted on Tue 16 December 2025 in update
The holidays are full of sparkle, celebration, and togetherness—but they also bring unique safety challenges for our feline family members. In this festive episode of 19 Cats and Counting, Dr. Kelly Cairns joins Rita and Linda to unwrap the most common (and often overlooked) holiday hazards for cats.
This episode covers everything from tempting but toxic holiday foods, increased household activity and guests, to the irresistible dangers of glittery décor—including ribbons, bows, ornaments, Christmas trees, and seasonal plants that can pose serious risks to curious cats. Dr. Cairns shares practical, vet-approved strategies to help cat owners create a home that’s safe, calm, and cat-friendly throughout the busy holiday season.
You’ll also learn what to do if your cat does get into something they shouldn’t, and—because the holidays should be fun for pets too—thoughtful, enriching gift ideas your cats will actually love.
If you want peace of mind this season and a happier, safer holiday for your cats, this episode is a must-listen.
