Another danger to outside cats.
Since you admittedly have been warned about the dangers of keeping
cats outside... If you want forgiveness, stop trolling here and see a priest or something. -- "Bill Graham" weg9 comcast.net wrote: Path: news.astraweb.com!border6.newsrouter.astraweb.com! news.glorb.com!border3.nntp.dca.giganews.com!Xl.ta gs.giganews.com!border1.nntp.dca.giganews.com!nntp .giganews.com!local2.nntp.dca.giganews.com!news.gi ganews.com.POSTED!not-for-mail NNTP-Posting-Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:19:12 -0500 From: "Bill Graham" weg9 comcast.net Newsgroups: rec.pets.cats.health+behav Subject: Another danger to outside cats.

(they have two cat doors through which they can get outside the house) I have gone around and around with inside catters several times now, and I don't want to renew that discussion. However, recently one of my cats uncovered another danger that I feel it is instructive to address. He got into some lawn fertilizer and/or weed chemicals that poisoned him rather badly. Apparently, cats, being fastidious groomers are prone to poisoning themselves by licking their feet and/or fur after getting into anything distasteful. This cat damaged his liver by licking some unknown quantity of lawn chemicals off of himself. I felt that I should warn others of this possibility. |
