Dr Savageau revealed how you may not have even considered the objects to be a threat for your feline.
On the @thevets_official account, she wrote: “Cat owners beware!
“Watch out for these hidden dangers in your home.”
The first item to be aware of is medications like Tylenol, which contains paracetamol.
Dr Savageau explained: “Tylenol is very toxic to cats and can kill them quickly even if they just lick it or bite into a gel capsule.”
Next up was “anti-freeze.”
The vet continued: “It tastes sweet to animals and it attracts them and it’s very deadly.”
The third item on the list was “strings, ribbons, sewing needles and thread.”
She said: “Cats like to play with these and they can cause a foreign body obstruction.”
The last item to be aware of is “flea medications.”
Dr Savageau said: “Flea medications that are for dogs only are very toxic to cats.”
It comes as another vet issued a warning over the most common household products that could seriously harm people’s pets.
Experts say it is important for Brits to use pet-safe cleaning products or they run the risk of making their animals very ill.
Pet-safe branded cleaning products contain ingredients that are less likely to harm precious pets.
Items without this branding – including carpet shampoo, stain removers, and laundry detergent – can hurt cats and dogs.
