4:44 AM Cats and Secondhand Smoke |
You may aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke to humans but it is especially dangerous to cats because of the greater amount of exposure. She could suffer from respiratory problems and even develop cancer. Your indoor cat spends her entire life inside so if smoking is allowed in your home, your cat breathes the contaminated air all day and all night. The toxins from the smoke will settle on the surfaces of your home so your cat will absorb them whenever she walks around or lies down on them. And your cat will also ingest the toxins from smoke whenever she grooms herself or a companion cat. Thus the best thing for your cat is to make your home a smoke-free one. If this is impossible, open the windows and air out your home often. Wash all surfaces often and thoroughly. Empty ashtrays promptly. Learn more from your Tampa, FL veterinary clinic.
