On toys and gadgets, read through the included instructions on proper usage before allowing your cat to play with them. With all treats, it is important to read the nutrition labels and observe the suggested portion sizes as well as any allergies, sensitive tummy issues, etc. When it comes to accessories or apparel, only put them on if your cat is comfortable being a fashionista! If your kitty prefers their birthday suit to anything else, you can always get a picture of them next to the item instead of forcing it on and\/or donate it to a cat that is comfortable with it. For hygiene and other items, ensure your cat has no allergies or other negative reactions to them, and always follow the manufacturer&#8217;s written instructions on proper use. If necessary or uncertain, it&#8217;s always best to consult with your vet first!<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>Supervise your cat&#8217;s playtime&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-461 size-medium alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/@oukvekpwv-300x216.jpg\" alt=\"oukvekpwv\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/@oukvekpwv-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/@oukvekpwv-600x432.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/@oukvekpwv-768x553.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/@oukvekpwv-1024x737.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kitnipbox.com\/meow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/@oukvekpwv.jpg 1337w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/strong><\/u><br \/>\nWhen introducing a new toy, it&#8217;s very important to supervise your cat&#8217;s playtime to watch how they interact with the new item.
