Dylan nearly poisoned himself


Yesterday I was on the phone to my friend and Dylan came in then decided he fancied the grapes if I remember rightly grapes are poisonous to cats, managed to shoo him away though.

Grapes and raisins should not be given to cats or dogs as they can damage their kidneys.

Here is a list of foods that should not be given to your cat

RCR's right, they are toxic to cats and dogs.

Grapes & Raisins: Though it isn't clear to scientists just what makes grapes and raisins toxic to both cats and dogs, even a relatively small amount can damage the kidneys. For this reason it's unwise to feed these to your pet, even if small amounts are tolerated. Also avoid giving bits of cookie or other foods that contain raisins.

Re: Dylan nearly poisoned himself


Hmm. Rajah was sick tonight. Ok Cats throw up..... but he had stolen the leftover fresh baked garlic bread that Mum and I had enjoyed. Made a real mess playing with it, crumbs everywhere.

He is ok now.
