    7 Pet-safety Tips for the Holidays

    One of my cats is positively addicted to ribbon - and it's absolutely one of the worst things a cat can eat. So we've made some small adjustments to our holidays: we just don't use curling ribbon any more. Those stick-on bows hold no interest for our kitty, and hey, they're less work anyway. Besides ribbon, the holidays abound with danger for pets. From holiday plants to holiday treats, it seems like there's something Grinch-y lurking around every corner for poor Mr. Fluffykins. Protecting your pet from holiday hazards is really easy, though -- when you know what to watch out for. Click through for 7 tips for keeping pets safe during the holidays! - By Joslyn Gray

      Skip the Tinsel
      Shiny strands of tinsel hanging from the tree are incredibly tempting to many animals. Tinsel and ribbon, if swallowed, can obstruct your pet's digestive tract--a very serious problem.
