Damn man, what a heart wretching story. 🙁 So sorry for your loss.

The potato itself must not be toxic. It's in several cat foods and my cat would have died years ago if this were true, because he is quite good at stealing french fries.

Very sorry to hear about that.

So are spider plants.

This should help.

Just goes to show you, cats are 100% carnivores through and through.

Except that most are raised with high quantities of corn meal and corn gluten from all the crappy name brand cat foods.

This list is very helpful. I think my cat may have had some hemp...with marijuana on the list, I'm wondering if it's poisonous to her.

They list THC as the active toxic ingredient, so hemp should be OK.

I question the stance in general, though. It's not deathly toxic, at least. If a human were to ingest the per pound of bodyweight equivilent, I'm sure we would suffer from a lot of the same effects. 😉

I know what I will be putting in my flower bed this spring to get rid of the annoying cats.

Not appropriate for this thread.

OP and others, I'm sorry for your loss. 🙁 Poor kitties.

Sorry to hear that. I do have to thank you though it never occured to me to see what could poison my dog now because of this I checked and will be careful.

I wouldn't want to lose this booger.
