Hi everyone,
Please find below a usual infographic on signs of poisining and how to keep your cat safe from household harms. The infographic has been created by our friends at CATS Protection!

Spot On dog flea treatments: Never use a dog treatment on a cat as it may contain chemicals that are lethal too cats. Always purchase the cat version
Human medicines: What seems like a common day medicine to us may be dangerous to your pet!
Antifreeze: Antifreeze can lead to kidney failure and death.
Household chemicals: Many household chemicals are poisonous to cats and other pets and should be kept out of their reach.
Lilies: There is a number of plants that are toxic to cats but Lillies are especially bad. A friend of mine didn’t know about this and her cat almost died from just brushing against the flowers. 🙁 You can see a full list of plants that are dangerous to cats on International Cat Care’s website.
Human foods: Certain foods are poisonous to cats for example onions!
For more details and useful tips around this also check out their original post here.
Thanks,
Marc

Thanks fur posting this, human- garlic is also toxic to KATS- so many humans don’t know!!
Which is a shame as it is a natural dewormer… 🙁 but yes you are right. Very inportant. 🙂
Yes- another thing we kats don’t like is citrus!
Cwap!! Mom didn’t know onions were poisonous to cats. Thanks Marc…a great tip.

You are welcome. 🙂
Snow globes can contain small amounts of antifreeze, if they break & a pet ingests the liquid it can be toxic. People may have these hanging around during the holidays. http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/2011/02/antifreeze-poisoning-in-dogs-cats-ethylene-glycol-poisoning/
Oh wow! I had no idea those could contain anti freeze. Good to know!

Good advice and information. Thanks for posting.
Most welcome. 🙂
This is fantastic. I just pinned it. This is the kind of knowledge that can prevent heartache and agony!
Thank you! 🙂 gld you found it useful and thank you for sharing it. <3
Its amazing how many everyday and natural things (plants) aren’t good for cats. Do you think it can be slightly different for strays (building up a tolerance)?? As they must come across all sorts….especially if going in bins as I have seen some strays do – I didn’t know about onions either :-0
Some things certainly could have to do with a level of tolerance but other things would be just as deadly to strays as they are to house cats. Lilies for examples 🙁
Reblogged this on Charlotte Gerber.
Thanks for this! Most of my cooking have onions in them. And my little rascal loves human food.
You are welcome. :). And yes we didnt realise half the food they are not allowed to have!
I love the infograph, very stylish AND informative, however the lack of punctuation made me go back and reread what it is that you’re keeping cats safe from. ”..and how to keep your cat safe from our friends at CATS Protection!” or rather: ”…and how to keep your cat safe; from our friends at CATS Protection!” Cheers!
Ooooops I changed the sentence twice and left it in a bit of a state there haha. I just changed this to be more clear. Thanks for the feedback! 🙂
Obrigada pela sua visita
Feliz Natal….Paz!

Thank you 🙂
Good to know all this. Is savlon antiseptic ok to use if a cat has a cut caused by a fight?
I would recommend to get pet safe anti bacterial wipes / lotion from a pet shop or vet. My vet advised me once that human once such as savlon can cause more harm than good as the cat may indegest it when cleaning themselves. To be on the safe side check with your own vet tho as i know how much opinions can vary!!!
