Poisoned Cat?

If you suspect your cat has eaten (or licked during grooming) anything contaminated with the following, take her to the vet immediately - they are all highly toxic:

Plenty of potential perils in the great outdoors!

Antifreeze – this is lethal, and most commonly ingested if used in a garden water feature
Disinfectants – the ones you lean the cat litter tray with will be pet-friendly; but standard household disinfectants are not, and some of them can be lethal to cats
Household chemicals such as turpentine and white spirit
Slug pellets – the common ingredients metaldehyde and methiocarb are highly toxic for all animals (making you wonder why we allow these thigs to be routinely scattered on gardens!)
Rat and mouse poison – it’s usually the poisoned rodent that causes the illness in cats
Weed killers – like slug pellets, these are commonly used in gardens, making them toxic danger zones. Certain ones – including brands that use the ingredient paraquat – can be lethal
Insect killers, including household fly sprays, can harm cats, even if they only breathe them in
Dog flea medications – cats have their own flea treatments preparations, and you must never use ones intended for dogs
All human drugs – just to be on the safe side. Things like aspirin and paracetamol are highly toxic for pets
Onions, raisins, grapes, chocolate, alcohol – some human foods are toxic for cats
