Three things every cat owner should know
- Lilies can be deadly to cats. Even pollen or vase water can cause kidney failure. Call a vet right away after any exposure.
- Most adult cats don't need milk. Many are lactose intolerant; fresh water is all they need.
- A male cat straining to pee is an emergency. Urinary blockages can become life-threatening quickly.
