Cat Health & Safety

Rat and mouse poisons (rodenticides) are designed to kill, and they don’t “care” whether they’re killing rodents or your cat. In fact, some types can even kill your cat if your cat eats a poisoned rodent! (This is called “secondary” or “relay toxicity.”) There are safe ways to use these poisons in and around your home, but honestly, you’ve already got the “world’s greatest rodenticide”: your cat! So, do you really need poisons and traps? And speaking of poisons and traps, if you let your cat outside, make sure your neighbors aren’t using these in their yards or under their decks … many cats have been unintentionally injured and poisoned this way, too!
