Justin didn’t know minoxidil could kill a cat. Most of us wouldn’t have. That’s the point of this post: you can’t avoid a danger nobody told you about.
Before you give your cat anything, a treat, a plant, a product, a new diffuser, take a minute to read the ingredients and google “is ingredient x safe for cats?” It takes a minute, and it can make the difference.
Everything in the carousel comes from vet toxicology sources. It only helps if it reaches the people who don’t know yet.
So share it. Send it to a friend with a cat, post it to your story, tag the person who still diffuses tea tree oil. One share can reach the owner who needs it, and it might save a life.

I’m not sure why IG flagged this as AI content, I’ve only used Canva and some elements from Canva 🤦♀️

Thank you so much for sharing awareness ❤️ I had no idea and my boyfriend has had his medication packet on the side for over a year and this has terrified me! It's in the cupboard out of the way now, but I'm still quite worried about it being in the house at all.. I can't believe I haven't heard about this before!

A lot of things we should avoid, some of them I don’t even know before! Thank you for sharing this, I hope more people know about this!

There should be clear warnings on the packaging about this 😢 especially topical ointments

I have heard about how just a little bit of minoxidil can be so so dangerous, but I am getting really nervous that say a parcel that is delivered to our house has been touched by someone who uses it (and you know cats and cardboard boxes), is this something realistically I need to be worried about?

Idc what anyone says I’ll never use candles around my cats because of the open flame. Theres too many risks besides a company lying about its purities, like a cat knocking it over or the glass not being able to handle long periods of heat (most people let candles run for hours). Great post and always super informative 🥰
