    E coli poisoning

    What a gorgeous kitty you are - and named after one of my favorite chocolate bars! It would be funny to hear what Mars and my kitty Caramel would sound like together (Caramel is very vocal and sometimes scares my visitors when he makes a really gruff meow!).

    I have to mention that working with rescues we have heard of many cats (and dogs) having emergency and very costly visits to the vet from drinking out of the toilet bowl. A friend of mine even spent over $1500 trying to figure out what was wrong with her cat. The toilet bowl, no matter how good a housekeeper you are, does not have clean water - think of what we do in there... residue of human waste (not to mention cleaners) can be on the bowl and therefore in the water. Also, I will never forget when I was a little girl with two brothers and they would leave the seat up. Luckily the bathroom was near the kitchen because all of a sudden my mother heard a banging noise. Turns out our cat Whisper had been trying to drink out of the toilet and had fallen in; the lid closed on him - luckily he didn't seem to have been knocked out or he could have drowned. Just not a good idea to let our precious furry families drink out of the toilet ever. You can leave the tap running slightly instead.
    Please have your pets sterilized as soon as possible to lower, and one day hopefully eliminate, unwanted and abandoned pets. It IS our responsibility. Adopting from a shelter also helps - encouraging breeders just adds to the overpopulation.
