Yet there are TONS of cat wet food variety that contains mostly tuna, without any warning from vets or pet stores :)

Thank you for sharing. I love my feline pets. I did not know about the air fresheners. Cats are obligatory carnivores and do not need carbs nor sweets.

I grow cacti, but none of my dogs have ever shown any interest in eating them, but what about apples whose seeds contain cyanide - we don't eat the seeds but a dog would et everything (yes my dog does like apples - I make sure the seeds are removed)
