Cats and rat poison

[Doug_FL]

Take a look at this story of a very large cat being effected by rat poison: http://tinyurl.com/ovoauml

They think it ate dead rats killed with poison. When I was a kid, we lost 1 cat to what my parents thought
was poison. Another just did not come home and I found a cats body a while later. Didn't want to get close.
But, I think it was our cat. My guess is she was killed by poison.

Any ideas how to keep cats away from rat poison? Besides keeping inside all the time.

Keep them inside all the time - and look into building an outdoor enclosure for them. They don't have to be expensive - have a look around the internet for ideas.

Build outdoor runs/enclosures for them... or just keep them inside. That's really the safest way.
