Bringing a kitten home can be exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. Your kitten’s first few weeks at home are a time of exploration, confidence-building and important introductions to other pets and people.

It’s your kitten’s new home, but there are lots of potential hazards lying in wait. After all, kittens are babies, which means they’re lively and curious. This can lead to serious trouble unless you take preventative measures.
