Cat Lovers Should Know ...

PG can be harmful to cats. These links were posted on an Australian vaping site, so I am sure they've already been posted on ECF somewhere:

Cat's and Vaping.... Something I did not know.... - YouTube

The Australian forum members have divided opinions as to whether vaping does pose a significant health hazard to our beloved cats. I am torn now. I like vaping inside - especially on these cold winter nights, but I don't want to put my cats at risk.

Wow, thanks for the link katz. I keep my stuff away from my cats and they hated me smoking, don't mind the vaping at all.

I will read the links ..thanks ! I do keep all juices away from her and capped tightly ,and i make sure never to drip or fill when shes around me ....i know i have a real big concern for bird owners tho .Really susceptible to what they breath ...and people have killed their birds from cooking odors and the release of the compounds that come off of non stick pans ...always kept my bird far away from kitchen and no spraying anything around them like air fresheners and furniture polish ...deadly .

Katz, as long as you're only vaping, and not "feeding large doses" of PG to your cats, they should be just fine.

I hate you.

Pictures, please!

I have to get some new pics. We adopted a 25lb Black Maine .... and oh man is he like a mini panther. We adopted another long-haired cat but I'm not too good with cat breeds. I'll take some pics and maybe you can tell but she's a brown long-haired. Mr. T and Willow respectively.

I didn't know Maine Coons came in black, we definitely need pics. Those cats are enormous! Being used to delicate orientals, I can't imagine a Maine .... on my lap.

 

[BHam]

Katz he is HUGE!! I tried getting pictures last night but my dog kept getting in the way. Mr. T is the biggest cat I've ever had, he towers over my little Maltese.

Katz..I'm sure vaping inside is fine...much better than when you smoked. Just keep the supplies secure..I know cats are more curious than dogs...well maybe not more curious they can just get up when my little gal can't...

I want a 25lb Maine ....!

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

Apparently my cat is camera shy. He won't come out of hiding!

Give the poor baby some time! You're chasing him around and pointing a strange device at him! He's probably stressed out

Yeah when we first adopted him he hid for like three straight days. It was weird because he'd come out at night and be in our bed to stare out the window but when I'd wake up he was out of sight.

Oooooooooh, GORGEOUS!

Bham, it sounds like you adopted two adult cats -- bless you for that! But everyone else is right (especially since these are not kittens): they will need time to adjust to their new humans and their new surroundings. Who knows, the poor darlings may even have been neglected/abused, so it will really take time, gentleness and patience on your and Vanessa's part to get them to "relax" and become normal happy kitties.

Maine Coons are especially friendly/affectionate, so the wait will be worth it!

 

[waylonjessi4ever]

Oh two adults ? They will have to adjust to each other too .....
