. They are truly...

Each year the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center receives tens of thousands of calls related to pets accidentally ingesting their owners’ over-the-counter and prescription medications.
Some human drugs – such as antidepressants and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and Baclofen (a muscle relaxant) – can sicken or even kill your feline so keep medications off counter tops and securely stored in a cabinet or drawer. If both you and your cat are on medication, avoid mix-ups by keeping the vials in separate places. Maryann Mott is a pet journalist and author.

So true: cats see the little containers with intriguing contents making beckoning noises as toys. Even that single pill or capsule can lure them into investigation.
Very good reminder. Don’t forget vitamins either. My good friend, Christine’s, Molly, was very ill after eating an almost invisable to us, Vit. D. She got to the vet in time, thanks to her observant Mommy and recovered completely.
