Welcome to the Friday Edition of the Cats.com Newsletter!
Maybe spring hasn’t fully sprung yet where you live, but that just means you have more time to prepare for what a new season has in store. After a long, cold winter, the sunny warmth of spring is welcome. However, it also brings some potential risks and challenges for your pets.
In this Friday’s mailer, we’ll cover some quick spring safety tips for cats. And don’t miss Sarah and Gordon in this week’s featured video about the best and worst types of cat litter! |

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK
GoTags Nylon Personalized Reflective Breakaway Collar
Cats are sneaky, and some simply can’t resist the temptation to escape and explore the great outdoors. If your cat has any access to the outside (even a screened-in catio), make sure they wear an ID tag or a collar like this one from GoTags. |
|
This nylon breakaway collar features a reflective strip for low-light visibility and a bell so you can keep tabs on your cat’s location. Personalize it with up to 21 characters, prioritizing your cat’s name and your phone number, just in case they get lost.

Spring Safety Tips for Cats
When it’s sunny outside, my cats clamor to go out into the catio. Unfortunately, unpredictable spring weather means it’s not always as warm out as it looks. But my cats are ready for spring and so am I!
If you’re entering prep mode for spring, too, keep these safety concerns in mind:
- Give your windows and screens a once-over before opening them up for spring to make sure your cat can’t slip through.
- Keep spring cleaning products out of your cat’s reach, and double-check boxes before you put them in storage to make sure your cat didn’t sneak in.
- Be mindful of houseplants, flowers, and garden supplies that might be toxic to cats (here’s a handy list).
- Update the contact information linked to your cat’s microchip (or get them chipped if they aren’t already).
- Make sure your cat is protected against ticks and fleas—even indoor cats can be exposed to these pesky parasites.
If you’re thinking about letting your cat outside this spring, be sure to do it safely. Understand the risks and consider whether there’s a safer way to meet your cat’s needs for exercise and mental stimulation—like interactive toys or puzzle feeders. |
