Candles and Fireplaces
As the winter season is approaching and to add enhance the holiday celebration, we generally use scented candles and warm fires in the hearth. Being occupied in an unusual environment during Thanksgiving treat, cats generally get fascinated by those glittering candle beams and popping sounds and burn themselves especially their sensitive paw pads. So, try to avoid such lightening system or never leave your cat unattended around open flame materials.
