Abstract
Cats are fastidious eaters and accidental ingestion of toxins is often considered less likely in cats than in dogs, although hunting cats may kill and eat animal prey that has itself ingested a toxin and may be poisoned by this route. This chapter considers lilies, permethrin, ethylene glycol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, paracetamol, onions and garlic and rodenticides.
