Cat Proofing the Home
Bathroom and Laundry

Try to get all family members into the habit of leaving the toilet lid down. Cats, especially small kittens or less agile older cats, can fall in and drown.
Many bathroom essentials are toxic to cats. Make sure any medications and other toxic items are stored securely. Stow all breakable items and hazardous objects safely in cabinets, cupboards and drawers; if your cat figures out how to open doors (some do), use baby proofing latches to keep him out.
In the laundry room, always check your dryer before starting it (cats love taking naps on — or in — the dryer) and store detergents, bleach and other chemicals in a kitty-proof container.
