Sources of danger / Potential hazards
Cats are like children – unsuspecting in the presence of danger. They don’t recognize potential hazards, or they underestimate them. But if you walk through your apartment with open eyes and take certain precautions, not much should go wrong. Most accidents happen as a result of falls. Balconies should be made cat-safe through the mounting of a net. For titled windows there are also netting solutions, so that the cat’s head does not get stuck. With a young animal, it’s advisable to keep the toilet lid closed and not leave the bathtub to fill up unattended.
