The holiday season is a time of joy and celebration, but it can also be a bit overwhelming for our feline friends. With all the decorations, parties, and new scents, it’s important to make sure your cat stays safe and comfortable. Here’s how to create a whisker wonderland that’s both festive and cat-friendly.

1. Cat-safe decorations

  • When decking the halls, choose decorations that are safe for cats. Avoid tinsel, which can be hazardous if ingested, and opt for shatterproof ornaments. Secure your Christmas tree to prevent it from tipping over, and consider decorating the upper branches only to keep tempting baubles out of paw’s reach. Remember, plants like lilies and poinsettia can be poison for cats, so go for the faux look instead. 

2. Create a cozy retreat

  • With all the holiday hustle and bustle, your cat might appreciate a quiet space to retreat. Set up a cozy bed or blanket in a quiet room where they can escape the noise and relax. You can even add some festive touches, like a soft holiday-themed blanket or a new cozy bed. Cardboard houses that are decorated for the season are another favorite. 

3. Mind the food

  • The holidays are full of delicious treats, but many human foods aren’t safe for cats. Keep chocolate, alcohol, and other toxic foods out of reach, and be cautious with table scraps. If you want to include your cat in the holiday feasting, consider making or buying some cat-friendly holiday treats that they can enjoy safely.

4. Safe gift-giving

  • When choosing gifts for your cat, think about safety and fun. Toys that are too small can be a choking hazard, and those with strings or small parts can pose risks if not monitored. Look for high-quality, durable toys that will keep your cat entertained for hours. 

By taking a few precautions, you can ensure that the holiday season is just as enjoyable for your cat as it is for you, creating a festive environment that’s safe and welcoming for your furry friend.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
