Ace of Spades Pet Thread [Misanthropic Humanitarian]

It is hard to believe that it is Easter weekend already. The weekend will be full of jelly beans, colored eggs and Easter ham. Some of you might be gifting or receiving Easter Lilies. Lilies pose a serious health threat to cats. Just a leave or two consumed by your cat can cause kidney damage.

Do you have a cat in your household? Please use EXTREME caution when bringing in flowers, bouquets, and new plants into your cat-friendly household. Easter lilies are extremely poisonous to cats, and just 1-2 leaves (or even the pollen) can kill a cat! Even small ingestions can result in severe kidney failure.

Signs of poisoning develop in 6-12 hours of exposure. These signs are but not limited to vomiting, lethargy & dehydration. Getting your cat to the vet promptly is impetrative. Although there is no known antidote for lily poisoning there are actions which can be performed by your vet to save your cat.

Just the other day our youngest barkuum cleaner cleaned up several grapes that accidentally fell to the floor. It was another call to our vet. Fortunately we didn't have to make a trip. We were told to watch him. He didn't eat that many, is young and weighs 60#. Had he been a smaller dog we would have been traveling to the vet. As with lilies to cats so are grapes and raisins to dogs. Grapes and raisins may cause acute kidney failure.

Also a danger to our pets this weekend are the chocolate candies. Chocolate can be toxic to both cats and dogs. Cats are unable to taste sweetness so they are not as prone to eat chocolate as compared to dogs.

  This is Navy Brat's brat cat named Dextar. Devious little guy planning some mischief.

  
  

  
  Regular 'ette Lauren submitted this picture of her dog. Not only does she have several children to take care of. This dog appears to be a big baby as well.
  
  
  This is Bailey, a 13 year old cat owned by IC. Silly Morons, of course the cat was named after the booze.

  
  

  
  An unidentified 'Ette had submitted photos of her 2 dogs. She really wanted to see her white German Shepherd Luka achieve it's 15 minutes of fame.

  
  

  
  Meet Friskers. This exceptional guard dog is owned by An Poc at Buile. I'm not sure I would want to cross it's path. It appears that the kitchen is off limits.

  
  

  
  Tim in VA has a dog named Max. Here Max is getting ready for a costume party as a Jurassic Park creature. The experiment worked.

  
  

  
  We have a submission from FU52. His dog Max is a Basenji. Its a regal looking dog. Basenjis don't really bark. They tend to "yodel" instead of barking.

  
  

  
  This photo was submitted by an unidentified Moron. Wish we had your name to thank you. Not sure how you got the 3 Stooges Sophie (dog), Mr. Perfect (orange cat) & Bunnie (brown cat) to pose. Nice job.

  
  Thank you for stopping in and checking out the Pet Thread. If you care to submit photos, tips, etc. please forward them to petmorons at gee mail dot com. Please include your nic name, pet's name and any other information you wish to share.

  As always we appreciate your patience. We are trying to get as many pet photos posted as possible.
