I've been thinking about a complete redecoration of our main living area inthe house, including possibly repainting, new carpet, new furniture...etc...

My concern is Ritzy. I've read that cats have very sensitive noses...and what should I do about paint fumes, wet paint, smell of new carpet, etc etc....She has pretty much free reign in the house now, and this room is not situated in a way to close it off from the rest of the house.

Are paint fumes dangerous for kitties? We would obviously have everything ventilated properly, but this is something I haven't had to deal with in the past. Ritzy is an "indoor only" kitty.

Thanks in advance for your advice
