Summer Safety Tips for Your Cat

Summer in Wisconsin is the time to get outside and enjoy the weather. And even your cat can enjoy it! Indoor cats like to enjoy the summer months just as much as you do — more birds to watch, basking in the sun and even exploring outside. But it’s important to remember that cats enjoy the freedom of being outside, and even tall fences can’t always contain them. Here are a few ways to ensure a safe, fun summer for your cat(s):

  • Have plenty of fresh water available and make sure he/she has a shaded place to nap and stay cool.
  • Clear your home of any poisonous plants.
  • Plant a cat garden. Grow grass or catnip indoors. Your cat will flip for dried catnip and will love to munch on fresh cat grass.
  • Place a birdfeeder near a window where your cat likes to sit. Your cat will love to watch the birds — and you will love to watch them!
  • If your cat is used to being indoors, make sure you keep your cat on a leash or enclosed area where he/she can't escape.
