What clinical signs might warn me that my cat may have been poisoned? As cats are fastidious groomers, any skin or fur exposure can quickly result in the poison being ingested from grooming. Some toxins can be absorbed directly through the skin, such as tea tree oil, and a few toxins can cause damage by inhalation, including carbon monoxide and smoke inhalation. Most poisoning occurs when cats eat something toxic, ingest poisoned prey, or groom contaminated fur. How can a cat become poisoned?Ĭats can be poisoned in several different ways. When cats are poisoned, these factors often increase their risk to poisonings compared to dogs. These include their small body size, their habit of hiding when ill so that exposure is not immediately evident, and their decreased number of certain liver enzymes which affects their liver metabolism, making them more sensitive to drugs and chemicals. 'Cats have fewer certain liver enzymes which affects their liver metabolism, making them more sensitive to drugs and chemicals.' Several factors predispose cats to becoming ill once they have been exposed to even a small amount of a poisonous substance. However, with their curiosity and fastidious grooming, intoxication is, unfortunately, not uncommon. Many think that because cats are finicky eaters, they are poisoned less often than dogs.
