As freezing temperatures hit, pet owners are being warned about the widely unknown, chilling hazards of anti-freeze - which can kill cats.
Anti-freeze poisoning kills 50 cats a month in England alone, and the product is widely used in cars and garden water features.
Battersea Cats and Dogs Home’s head of cattery Lindsey Quinlan stated: “Anti-freeze poisoning is lethal and the faster you can get your cat treated, the better chance it has of surviving.”
We here at The Best Cat Page are calling for people to use a pet-safe product, which does not contain ethylene glycol.
Cats who ingest anti-freeze may experience vomiting, sleepiness, disorientation, seizures and fast breathing rate.
They may also drink more and go to the toilet more than usual.
Keep your kitties safe this winter!
