Beware of Antifreeze: Danger to Cats

Antifreeze is a major danger to cats because of the toxic substance ethylene glycol, which can be fatal. Cats are attracted to the sweet smell and taste, but even a small amount can cause serious kidney damage. Symptoms of poisoning include lethargy, vomiting, coordination problems, and excessive drinking and urination. To prevent poisoning, it's important to keep your cat indoors, check for leaks, use pet-safe antifreeze, and store products safely.
