Not only with this help keep your floors clean, it will remove any ice chunks from their toes. It also will help remove any rock salt they might have picked up on their paws during their walk. Rock salt is used on snow and ice to help keep us from slipping, but it can be irritating to sensitive paws. \u00a0If rock salt or de-icers have been used on your walk, a warm water rinse is a good idea. If you have cats that go outdoors, their paws should be checked regularly too and rinsed off if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Another winter hazard is antifreeze, which has a sweet smell and taste and is poisonous to your pets. Try to keep your pets out of driveways and roadways where antifreeze can collect. If your pet shows any signs of poisoning (clumsiness, drunken behavior, vomiting, wobbling) call your vet immediately.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2013\/12\/cat-691175_960_720.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3109 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2013\/12\/cat-691175_960_720.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2013\/12\/cat-691175_960_720.jpg 480w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2013\/12\/cat-691175_960_720-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a>Cats can sometimes climb\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">up into car engines or wheel wells to stay warm. \u00a0A car that was recently driven stays warm and stray cats often take refuge from the cold in these warm, dark places. \u00a0Check your car before starting it by knocking on your hood and around the wheels. \u00a0A few minutes of checking can save a kitty&#8217;s life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Most of all, spend time with your animals.
