- All the possible toxins for cats can get very confusing. But there are three poisons that are the most common in a typical home with pets. This video looks at the three most common household items that will poison your cat. They include the lily, acetaminophen (Tylenol) and dog flea treatments with permethrin.
According to one emergency vet, these three items are the most responsible for cat poisonings that they see at their clinic.
The video looks at how to prevent the problem in the first place and what some of the symptoms for each type of poisoning.
If you think your cat has ingested any of these, take it to the vet right away.

Thank you for sharing! I used to let previous cat outside till the vet told me that cats are attracted to antifreeze.... very deadly!! My cats are now all indoors... with plenty of toys!
Yes, antifreeze is a big problem, especially because of possible spills in a garage. But this channel is mostly about indoor cats, so it did not rank in the top three. But, for all of you out there whose cats do go outside, watch out for the antifreeze! Thanks for your comment, Joe, and for watching.
@@9LivesToLive You have a very informative channel and I enjoy it thoroughly. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks for the information.
I'm glad you found it useful, Joan!
Thank you for yet another great and important video! I don't know about the US, but in some countries they still use permethrin in some bug sprays, apparently in some kinds you can spray around your windows to keep spiders and ants from coming inside, so it's a good idea to read the ingredients on stuff like that.
Some essential oils, which are very popular these days, can also be poisonous. I'm finding it difficult to figure out which brands or scents are safe, so I've stayed away from all of them so far.
You make a good point on the sprays with permethrin, Mette. My understanding is that the sprays have a much lower concentration of the toxin than the dog flea medicine. However, I completely agree that cat owners should read the label and stay away from it altogether. I don't know about essential oils. Thanks for the tip. And thanks for watching.
So informative!!! I wasn't aware of these, thank you. 🙏🙏🙏
You're so welcome, FreedomTS! And thanks for watching!
Thanks for this list. My parents had gotten flowers delivered to them today. I noticed the lillies right away and they have a pretty strong scent. My mom throw the lillies away
When it comes to lilies and cats, it's always better to play it safe!
Love Ur video bro. Thanks for the great info👍
Thanks for your comment. Glad you liked it!
I never had a "green thumb" so I have NO real plants anyway but that is a big reason I never got any as well! Very good important info!! Thank you! I am a new subscriber....really enjoying your videos!
Thanks for watching, Kristi! I appreciate it!
More useful info. Thanks so much. Didn’t know about the dog-flea medicine. My grand-dog frequently visits. Now we will institute a 24-48 hr waiting period post flea applications. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful, Cyn! Thanks for watching!
Hi just discovered your channel! I was curious what type of breed Skyfall is? We just adopted a cat and she almost looks identical to Skyfall! Is it a european shorthair? ❤
Skyfall was a stray, born under a neighbor's deck, so I don't really know. I would say Domestic Shorthair, which is really every shorthair that is not a recognizable breed. When she was a kitten she was gray on the surface but with a tan undercoat which made her look pink in the right light. LOL
This Short gives you a better look at her. ua-cam.com/users/shorts_N1_yxcdnWo?feature=share
First and thanks
You are welcome, Gamemaster! Thanks for watching.
I recently moved into a park model. I brought one cat with me. Now I had to take in my mom's cat. I brought her home Sunday. I have kept her in a carrier. I have an outside kennel with a table chair shelves and a door to the house. My cat has hissed and howled at her. The first 24 hours he did the same to me. It is now Thursday and he is back to being sweet with me. I take turns having them outside etc. She stays in the carrier when they are both inside. She is so sweet and is not upset at him. He still passes the carrier and hisses at her a little bit. At what point can I let her out? How do I do so to protect them both in case he attacks her? Do I wait until he completely stops hissing at her? Thank you.
Good questions. Did you see my video on introducing cats?

Yes I did. Twice. I just need a little help on letting her out of the kennel. I did not have a separate room. Also how many days should I wait. He still hisses at her but not as much as he did.
I will watch it again. Thank you.
@@sj6728 Hissing, by itself, is not that big a problem. They might hiss at each other for months but not get into fights. I think that you can let the cat out but supervised. Just in case keep a blanket around in case they get into a real fight you can throw it on one of them. By a real fight, I mean fur flying, screaming, scratching, not just a few swats. You do not want to get in between cats in a real fight. The blanket, just in case, will allow you to stop the fight without getting scratched up.
@@sj6728 My cats, which grew up together, sometimes hiss at each other when they are annoyed. It's just a way they say "back off" to each other.
