Air Fresheners: Trouble For Curious Cats

I use Plug in Airfreshners and scented Candles and have done for a long Time so my Cats where safe lol Now I have the Potpouri but there is only Gissi and me and he can't get where it is lol Thank you for this Kat and I know the Kids don't use Potpouri either so the Cats are safe there

Thank you for posting that. I don't use liquid potpourri, and now I will make sure that if I ever use some in the future to put it so that it is out of my cats' reach.

My cats are not allowed on the tables, counters, entertainment center. Besides, I use candles and since they know not to jump up on anything, they won't get into them or knock them over. I don't use liquid potpourri but I used to. I prefer the soy candles cause the scent is more intense and great for when I need to freshen the house in a short amount of time.

Yes, my girl managed to swing her tail into a scented candle recently. She didn't even notice until I leapt on her after smelling singed fur. She was fine but I was so panicked. Everything is well out of range of them now.

Ahhh I never really thought of the liquid plug-ins. I guess I never thought about it since my two cats which are both "babies" (7mths and a year) have never bothered them. But it's good to keep in mind. And once we got the cats I always make sure the candles are always out of their immediate reach and that I'm in the room or immediate area of the candle. Usually I leave one on the stove top in the kitchen as I know they will not get up there. I will sometimes leave one on the end table or coffee table in the living room but only if I'm going to be right there. And speaking of detergents...one of my mom's friends had a cat that ingested a good amount of laundry detergent. The cat was in the basement and knocked the bottle over without her knowing about it and it leaked out on the floor. She noticed only a day or so later. She figured out what had happened and took the cat to the vet. They gave kitty some meds and kitty was okay. But still, how scary! We also have to remember, maybe kitty doesn't get near these type of things while we are around but we have to realize we can't control what they do while we are out!
