If I find something borderline in the back of my fridge, I'll sometimes offer it to my cats. They always turn their nose up at whatever it is, though...I have discerning furbabies, apparently.Originally Posted by roobear
On that list is mouldy food. No offense to anyone who may have done it in the past, but, would you give mouldy food to your children? No, so why should you give it to your cats?
My family has mixed cats and Christmas trees with no problem. Unplugging the lights when you're not around makes it pretty safe--if she chews an unplugged cord, no big deal--and that's safer for the humans under your roof too because it removes a fire hazard. Cats like to climb, so it's a good idea to make sure the tree is firmly attached to the stand, and to avoid breakable ornaments just in case she knocks it over anyway.Originally Posted by tweetykiss
I know it is too early in the year, but we are debating if we should put up a Christmas tree up this coming holiday. Avalon will be a year old by then. I am thinking about her safety.
cats and dogs bodies are not made in a way to process the toxin thiosulphate. Some "designer" foods add garlic to their pet foods for flavor enhancement, claiming that small amounts are harmless.Originally Posted by Berry Punch
This is Berry Punch's husband.
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.

Very likely the elastic in most socks is what is considered the danger. Elastic is very dangerous for a number of reasons.Originally Posted by Epona
Socks are on that list - I have been wondering for days how socks could be dangerous. Adult socks are too big to be swallowed and I wonder what possible scenario involving socks could be dangerous. Baby socks perhaps, but not UK adult size 6-8 socks.

Hello Tw1ster,Originally Posted by Tw1ster
So I'm a new kitten owner and as I was scooping out his litter today I noticed one of his poops had quite a few small rubber bands in it. I'm kind of panicking, they are the real skinny ones which is a bit of a relief and they did come out but I didn't even know they were laying around and have never seen him playing with em. He's acting fine and is purring constantly like always but should I call the Vet tomorrow to get him checked out? (BTW, keeping close eye on whatever could be eaten)
