Your kitty is going to be very curious, wanting to explore high and low, so kitty-proofing the house as a must. Taking the same precautions as you would with a child, keep household cleaners, car and gardening products out of reach or in locked cupboards as if they are poisonious to humans, then they are most certinately poisonious for cats.

Antifreeze is well known to be enticing for cats to lick, which can be fatal. If you find that your kitty has taken a poison and it isn't corrosive, as a first aid measure, induce vomiting by dosing kitty with water mixed with baking soda. If it is a corrosive do not induce vomiting and in either case take kitty immediately to the vet!

Below is a list of some of the most common household plants that can be the most poisonious to kitty.
