Thanksgiving is a day to share with those we love, our friends, families and cats. A day to share food, stories, playtime. We can also share with our community, including animal shelters. Spending time with the cats at shelters helps socialize them and help them be more adoptable. Besides, it’s fun and kids love it!

Thanksgiving is also an opportunity to remember our gratitude. Some families share what they’re grateful for, before beginning their Thanksgiving feast. Health is an important element in anyone’s gratitude list. Here’s some tips to keep our cats healthy this Thanksgiving:

• Keep turkey bones away from your cats, they could be injured if they splinter
• Plain pumpkin is good for cats, but not pumpkin pie filling (has spices in it)
• Butter and gravy has too much fat for your cats
• Kitchens will be especially busy, be mindful that your cat stays away from stoves, ovens and underfoot

My Kitty Care is grateful for so much, including the contined good health of our fabulous cats, Toby and Marnie.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
