Keeping cats safe Campaign

The reason my cats are contained is to keep them as safe as I can from all sorts of dangers.  International Cat Care is a UK charity founded in 1958, and they're currently collecting stories detailing incidents relating to cat safety as a way of helping other owners keep their cats safe.  They're interested in a wide range of incidents from poisoning (including anti-freeze or plants) right through to cats being lost. Your story may help to provide useful information on the most common harmful events for cats, and therefore the best solutions to keep them safe.  The  collected data may also reveal interesting or even surprising information about our cats.
