Inside your home, be careful about insecticides and pest control products, such as ant and fly traps; if you use them, they need to be hidden away (underneath furniture, for example) where there is no chance your pet can reach them. Also, be aware that some household plants and flowers can be toxic to pets. A common example is the lily flower, which can be fatal to cats. Even if your cat doesn’t ingest any part of the plant, simply drinking water from the vase or even ingesting pollen from the flower itself is enough to be fatal in some cases.
