A park friend applied monthly flea & tick prevention liquid to his dog, and thought, hmm. I'll put a few drops on the cat, so he won't get fleas. That night he woke up, the cat was foaming at the mouth. Rushed him to emergency. He did not make it ;-( ALWAYS read package directions thoroughly. What you use on dogs, you usually can NOT use on cats.

Yes once my cat Angel ate some dog flea stuff but he made it. My neice gave it to him because her cats eat softfood and the flea stuff must look abit like soft cat food. She was 4 and didn't know better.

Dog flea treatments killing cats
08 November 2007
Hundreds of cats are dying needlessly after being accidentally treated with commonly used dog flea treatments, says a study produced by the Veterinary Poisons Information Service (VPIS), part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.
Following their recent joint study, the VPIS has joined forces with cat welfare charity Feline Advisory Bureau (FAB) to warn owners of the dangers of using dog flea preparations on cats.
The study found one in 10 cats reported to the VPIS died, after being exposed to spot-on dog treatments containing the chemical permethrin.
