This is a very informative post,so thanks for thinking of puttinh it up,now with new kittens in the house i have had to move my plants.
About the first section of the list about cleaning products etc. is anyone really stupid enough to leave those where their pet is likely to eat them? I knew chocolate was poisonous for cats but i didn't know about the others, not that my cat has ever really been interested in any human food other than meat. We always keep our cats away from trick or treaters cos of the horror stories you get about them and we always make sure they are in on halloweOriginally Posted by queenfe
Thank you for sharing that, I learnt a few things there....
that is debatable ... Your in the EU thus your meats are purer than US meats... but Pork fat is not all digested by kitties thus I avoid itOriginally Posted by HUYI
what about cooked pork? is that any good for a cat?
I was wondering about that because I read that feeding small doses of garlic to your cat can help keep fleas away and I wanted to try it..but now Im uncertain!Originally Posted by Berry Punch

I was reading an article that debunked the notion that garlic (in small quantities) is harmful to cats and dogs. Apparently, the researchers who had notified the public to the contrary had tested its effects using relatively extreme quantities. Using it as a limited ingredient in pet foods has no ill effect at all. In fact, I know of a very good natural dog biscuit brand that uses it to flavour their treats. owners.
garlic toxicity varies by cat and there is no way to tell how much if any is okay for a specific catOriginally Posted by RiffxRaff

You can warm refrigerated canned cat food up. Just run hot water over the dish, leave a little water in the dish and mix it with the food. If it is still cold set the dish of food in another dish of hot water to warm.Originally Posted by zerosoma33
I'm surprised that "salt" is harmful for cats. The Meow Mix Market Select containers I have contain salt (though it's about 15-20 ingredients into the list). Usually salt is used to cover up putrid meat but right now it's the easiest thing to feed as I've gotten tired of buying large cans of Innova and refrigerating it, most cats like their wet food at "mouse temperature" (or room temp).
Oh well, I don't think it will kill her. Eventually I will try to find an inexpensive food in smaller containers that does not contain salt or other additives!
I give my cat prawns which naturally contains salt from the ocean and he's not dead.Originally Posted by zerosoma33
