Thanksgiving dinner is a feast for the senses—especially for curious cats. Learn how to enjoy a peaceful meal without furry interruptions.
The smells of roasted turkey, buttery sides, and sweet desserts are irresistible to cats. Plus, all the shiny tableware and bustling activity.
Before dinner, tire out your cat with toys or puzzle feeders. Offering a small portion of plain, cat-safe turkey can keep them content and less curious about your plate.
Cats hate citrus scents, so place orange or lemon peels near the table. Sticky textures like tape or foil on table edges can also deter them from making a leap for the turkey.
Leftovers are a tempting treasure for cats, so store them securely right away. Clean up spills and keep the dishwasher shut to prevent sneaky snackers.
