Here’s How:

1. Look around your house first, at high shelves and low cupboards and hidden nooks. Do you see things that kitty might break, or harmful substances she might ingest?
2. If you’re into needlework, keep your supplies in a closed container.
3. Fold and secure your window blinds cord with a rubber band, out of kitty’s reach.
4. If you don’t want to find your floors littered with garbage, invest in covered wastebaskets and kitchen garbage containers.
5. Always keep the door to your clothes dryer closed, and double-check inside before using it.
6. Keep the floor clean of stray rubber bands, ribbon and twine.
7. Keep cupboard doors and dresser drawers securely closed.
8. Keep your toilet lid down at all times. Keep your bathroom off-limits to your kitten unless you absolutely have to keep her litter box there.
9. Anti-freeze is very tasty to animals, and is just one of the common poisonous substances found in garages.
10. There are a number of household plants poisonous to cats. Please check all this.
11. Remove all breakable valuables from high shelves and store them in a cabinet with a door.
12. Cover electric cords, such as the tangle from your computer, with covers sold for that purpose. Caution: wrapping electric cords could be a fire hazard.

Tips:

1. The real secret to kitten-proofing is to look at your home through the eyes of a cat. Find everything that looks like a swell toy, and if it’s something harmful, get rid of it or make it safe.
2. Bitter Apple or lemon-scented sprays are both great for marking areas you want to be off-limits. Cats hate the taste and/or scent of them.
3. If your kitten will be indoors-outdoors, make sure your yard is clear of snail poison, rodent traps, and other hazardous material.
