I'm surprised marijuana is not on the list. I've read that it can be toxic to cats.
I'm sure it's in this thread somewhere. I probably made the post myself.I'm surprised marijuana is not on the list. I've read that it can be toxic to cats.
Watermelon is okay. Small amounts of course. It's high in sugar, which is not good for cats but a few bits now and then shouldn't hurt. I had a watermelon baby. My Ootay ...watermelon was never safe around her. :lol3:Neither can i see tuna or watermelon. Is watermelon toxic for cats because my cats really like it . And tuna causes diarrhoea for them too
I find this interesting, of course I'd never give my cat STRAIGHT alcohol as that's completely inhumane! But I recently dabbled in the product "Calm away" which I purchased at Petsmart... our cat when we first got him just had FAR too much energy even for a kitten, and there were somedays where it was just needed before I tore my hair out. Although, after the first day of using it, I noticed my cat was almost lethargic and unresponsive, so I looked at the ingredients and it was 13% alcohol!!!! I smelled the product, and it smelt like it was 100% alcohol as it was a really strong scent.Alcohol
Because cats and dogs are smaller than humans, alcohol can have a much more deadly affect on them. Dogs are often attracted by the sweet taste of alcoholic drinks, especially eggnog. Even small amounts of alcohol can lead to heart arrhythmias, seizures, coma, and even death.
Most of these are just common sense for cat owners. If you don't know these than you shouldn't be owning a cat in the first place, or anything for that matter. This Christmas we would lock our catout of the loungeroom when we were out/in bed. He gets locked out of the loungeroom anyway when we go out or go to bed. He has a big kitchen, laundry and dinning room in these moments to roam (he's an indoor cat).
ALTHOUGH saying that, I once owned a dog who use to steal my alcohol drinks. I would put it down and she'd be drinking it from the glass.
Too true. I thought it was a bit harsh but to purposely give these harmful products to animals? Not so.That was harsh trish. As with human kids accidents happen with pets too. No matter how careful you are. Should we say you shouldn't have pets because you left alcohol out by mistake?
Yes, they certainly could, especially if they're knitted socks so the cat is swallowing yarn rather than small pieces. I've seen a cat get a perforated intestine from swallowing string. The worst part is that it doesn't show up on an X-ray.Socks can be bad if they choose to tear them apart and eat them piece by piece, not saying your cat will but some people's cats will.
