We’re in the middle of two weeks of radiation prevention after our cat’s I-131 treatment for hyperthyroidism. She’s “leaking” radiation from her body, so each of us can only touch her for 30 minutes a day. I figure that I’ve had so many x-rays in my life that I’m “hot” (in a bad way) anyhow.

I131 is exponentially more dangerous if ingested due to the beta particle it throws off. Wash your hands after touching the cat or handling its litter box.

“Wash your hands after touching the cat or handling its litter box.”

We definitely do that!
