Is the chemical that ends up on the mice safe for cats? I have strays. I'd hate to have them get sick or die because of eating a mouse w/this on it.

This same chemical is used in some flea and tick pet shampoo and it also does not kill the mouse just the ticks.

The chemical that kills the ticks is in such a low dose that it does not effect the mice. It is like putting a tick preventative on your dog or cat that goes outside -it kills the ticks, but does not harm the host. Your strays will be fine. Hope this helps. Shawn

PERMETHRIN IS NOT SAFE FOR CATS. In the case of these tubes, I don't know if there is enough of the compound transferred from the tube to the mice to the cats to be harmful. Contact the manufacturer to ask for safety testing data.

Funny, and not so funny, that people have said they've used it around their pets and it hasn't affected them at all? How do you know? The chemicals in this product may be causing long-term harm that may be slowly poisoning your cat or dog. If it says on the label not to use it around pets or people, then even the manufacturer is admitting it's not safe.

Yes. The dilution of the oils in this is perfectly safe for your cats. You never want to use straight up essential oils on any pet (or yourself), but when mixed properly, as this product is, it is safe. I have used it on all our cats, repeatedly, with no ill effects. They hate it, but it smells nice and our flea problem is virtually non existent after about 3 applications to the cats and house.

No, it's non-toxic but I wouldn't put it in your mouth because it's intentionally foul tasting and has an extremely foul scent that goes away after it has been exposed for about two weeks. It worked for my cat as she won't chew it but I also recommend some cheaper split cable cover that isn't scented but helps prevent damage to cords by being tough. Kitty would need a utility knife to get through the critter cord as it is tougher than even the cable cover is. Just beware the heads of your electronics are still tempting for kitty and she can chew the heads off if you leave the plug in easy reach.

Just a thought - had a Maine Coon Cat that had a panic mouse UNDERCOVER MOUSE - has a parachute type material cover that goes over the wand that goes around. My cat loved it when I took couple of sheets of tissue paper - crumbled up first then laid flat under the base of the undercover mouse - this would make a noise that would sent him into full attack mode.

Hi Patricia.None of my cats got sick drinking this. However, I have 4 drinkwell fountains so this bottle didn't go that far so they were not on it longer than a couple of weeks.To make sure, I would run the list of ingredients past your vet.Take care,Sue.

i got the house for my cat. but,ii have heard if you spray the house with something bitter - not harmful to the dogs - they probably will quit eating the wood house. i do not care for wood as it rots. this won't. it is very well made.

I don't have anything done with the cats. Cannot personally speak to whether that applies to dogs. Anecdotally, my friend did not with his dogs and still reported excellent outcomes with pest control.

This is some pretty nasty poison - it needs to be kept well away from pets and humans. You need to wear gloves while handling it, and make sure it's in a place your pets (or kids) won't dig up, and that your pets don't eat any animals killed by it. That being said, it's been very effective for us against moles and gophers.

Hi, A Vole is a rodent just like a rat is a rodent. If they eat this is will eliminate them. If not get you a pet fox :-) This rodentcide however is not to be left where it is accessable to cats and other small pet animals. It is supposed to emit a slight fishy odor and cats love that however it's bye bye kitty. They say this doesn't kill large breed dogs but they may have a severe tummy ache for a few hours. This rodentcide is supposed to cause internal hemoraging in rodents and thus eliminates the creature. Disclamer: I am not certified in any way to speak or advise on this product and am not responsible for any misuse or otherwise quoting or use of this information. You should ultimately call or contact the manufacturer of the product Ramik for proper use and application etc.

Laura K. I searched for an answer to no avail. I would steer clear of it. PS Cats don't really need fish.

My cat acts the same way. To the best of my knowledge there is no catnip in the mouse. :)

I gave this product to my healthy cat and in 3 weeks I noticed blood in his stools. If this does anything to the blood this could be side effect! anyone had this problem?

It doesn't say anything about cats on the bottle, but I have seen a few websites and reviews that mention it being safe for cats. Personally, I have found this to be a very gentle product and I would feel safe trying it on a cat. Maybe use it on one area to make sure there's no reaction first?

First off you should use a bait station so your pets/children have no direct access to the poison. The other thing to be worried about is your pet catching and eating the mouse before it succumbs to the poison. This can be easier for them to do because the poison has slowed the mouse down. Hope this helps.

Be very careful with kittens, you can poison them quickly with these types of flea control. The product must say 'Kittens' if it is safe for use. I recommend using a different product on a kitten. I hope this helps.

Please contact the company and ask if neem is safe for cats. Cats are more sensitive to some chemicals.
