Squirrels have clobbered both my seed feeder and suet feeder two days in a row now.
Thanks for this list. Hopefully I’ll have some dead squirrels by tomorrow.
Watch out for raw rising bread dough. My street rat rescue Anna ate a loaf of rising bread dough and nearly died from alcohol poisoning as the yeast continued to grow in her stomach. She had to be hospitalized and have her stomach pumped. That was a $500 loaf of bread.
I learned something.
Regarding the link in post warning against giving pets human foods:
I am currently in a heated argument with the Husband about the dangers of giving dogs onions and garlic (doesn’t matter if it is raw, cooked, chopped or powder). He insists that giving them a cooked meatbal containing garlic and onion is harmless since they have never shown any signs of sickness and says that “it’s a scare tactic that Dr’s and the med. community constantly putting out there without proper research”.
I want to choke him. I say just knock it off and we won’t have to worry about who’s right and who’s wrong, just don’t give them the friggin meatballs!!!
Here’s another one for the list:
Water chestnuts. Apparently SOME dogs cannot digest them...mine included. We give her leftover steamed vegetables (which she loves). I happened to buy a “mix” that included a couple of types of beans and sliced water chestnuts. Poor thing was still throwing them up two days later (completely undigested)...I felt so bad!
Thanks for the heads up.
My new cat enjoys wires so I have them sprayed with bitter stuff and all the electricity gets turned off when I’m not home. She is starting to find toys amusing (:
Better to be safe than sorry. I sure hope cocoa mulch was on that list (I got the 6, but never found the 26)
They left out that pointsetias are toxic to kitties.
Please note lillies are mentioned in the article as well.
My kitty once got into some roses, the day later I had rose potpourri in her litter box. No damage to the cat but I don’t have plants anymore inside.
Really good ping. Especially onions and chocolate.
Who the hell lets their dog have most anything on that list?
I imagine eating Uranium 235 and Chinese throwing stars is rough on their stomach too.
Did you hear about that idiot high in the Audobon Society, telling people how to poison cats? There is a warrant out for his head....
