🐭 Your cat may consider themselves the household pest-control department. We’d like to review their workplace safety policy.
As temperatures drop, mice may seek shelter indoors—and your feline might be ready to report for duty. But hunting rodents can come with more than a “gift” on your doorstep.
🪱 Parasites: Eating infected mice can transmit certain intestinal worms.
🐾 Injuries: Bites and scratches can leave wounds that become infected.
⚠️ Poison exposure: Eating a rodent that consumed poison can put your cat at risk, even without direct contact with the bait.
Swipe through for ways to protect your little hunter. Our team can help you choose appropriate parasite prevention and testing based on your cat’s lifestyle.
If you suspect your cat ate rodent poison or a poisoned mouse, contact us or an emergency veterinarian immediately. Don’t wait for symptoms. 479-571-1228
