Take a look at the ingredients list. Some baby wipes contain propylene
glycol which is toxic to cats - especially since he'll probably clean
himself.

There are some wipes made for pets. I happened to see some just
yesterday, but I didn't examine them. I hope, given what you say,
they don't contain propylene glycol!

They have these at Walmart and Petsmart.

Woah. I've been using some on Jackie. I'd best check the ingredient
list. Probably more dangerous for Nipsy since he likes checking out
Jackie's butt more than Jackie does.

Presumably, baby doesn't lick his own butt

A baby's hemoglobin doesn't contain *eight* sulfhydryl reactive groups as
does a cat's hemoglobin which makes feline hemoglobin highly susceptible to
oxidation.

Child sodium phosphate retention enemas such as Fleet Enemas are also
extremely toxic and potentially fatal to cats because they cause severe
electrolyte imbalances and life-threatening hypocalcemia.

You must use cat wipes, and cat wipes only.

I'm really impressed by your knowledge. Truly. But what does it
have to do with Huggies Natural wipes?


I was commenting on your foolish assumption: "I figure if they're safe for
baby, they're safe for kitty". Do you also assume baby foods containing
onions are also safe for baby....?



You said nothing about
what's in them or if any residue from them in particular is toxic to
cats.


I wasn't commenting on any particular product - I was just telling you its
foolish and dangerous to assume a product is safe for a cat because its safe
for a baby. What part of that don't you understand?


If you want to show off, please showw off on the subject at
hand. Thank you.


LOL! I'll leave the showing off to you since you love showing off your well
trained gaping asshole.

I use the Huggies Natural on Kami in those cases. Sometime I have to
make them a tad wetter to do the job. I figure if they're safe for
baby, they're safe for kitty.


But babies don't ingest the moisture that is on/in the wipes, whereas a cat
can, when cleaning itself.
