It's not even a challenge, one drop of rogaine will brick any cat. All you have to do is touch them with it.
Edit: don't fucking do this you sickos.
oh my fucking god. is this why when I was a kid my friend's cat went from super healthy to extremely sickly and died the next morning? his dad definitely used rogaine
Oh goodness, that's really sad and probably.
I'm unclear, and I'm not going to do this, but what does that do? Is it poison to them?
It contains an enzyme their body cannot process and it effectively poisons them to death. I believe it attacks the nervous system.
Oh. Damn. Good thing I found this out.
I mean, I never have actually touched rogaine, but this is kinda like when I was 4, and I was going to feed a dog a piece of chocolate. The dog wanted chocolate, I wanted to share, suddenly I'm getting my hand slapped and yelled at.
Like c'mon! We JUST watched a seseme street last week about how good sharing is! Now my wrist hurts!
THEN she tells me dogs can't have chocolate! Like I'm just supposed to just KNOW a dogs digestive system! I'm still learning colors and shapes, and you're asking me to know biology of dogs!
So, no dogs have died from chocolate from me, and now I know if I lose my hair, and have a cat, I can't have rogaine. Because I assume I'll be sleeping, and you just KNOW my cat is gonna be the weirdo cat who licks people in their sleep. Suddenly I wake up with a dead cat.
So good thing I learned now.
Turns out dogs are perfectly fine eating milk chocolate. I know this because I had a dog who jumped up on a table and ate an entire package of Hershey's kisses once. We thought she was a goner, but poison control said she'd be fine and she was. High quality dark chocolate is what poisons dogs
Chocolate is what poisons dogs. There's just a much higher concentration of it in dark chocolate than milk chocolate. Too much milk chocolate can still kill a dog, and "too much" isn't even all that much. 8 ounces of milk chocolate for a 30 pound dog is enough to be concerned about.
