Ask the APCC: Cool cats; dogs who "snack" from the litterbox

Can it be harmful to cats if they sleep near or on a vent when the air conditioner is on?
—Marina M.

As long as your air conditioner is in good working order, and does not contain contaminants—molds, bacteria or other agents—that could result in harmful air quality for humans or animals, we do not anticipate problems from your cat sitting near or on the air register vent. Many pets do this—because it’s probably the most comfortable spot in the house for them on hot summer days!

More new questions...

- Are spices such as mace, paprika and turmeric poisonous to pets?

- We have a small chicken lot that has been overrun by rats. We want to put out rat killer, but are worried about what would happen should one of our pets come into contact with a dead rat.

- My dogs have a terrible habit of “snacking” from the cat’s litter box. I use a clumping litter, and am concerned it could cause problems for my dogs. Do you have any information on this topic?

I recently went to Louisiana and I am disgusted that Caldwell Parish does nothing to stop Animal Cruelty. If you live there or pass through there you can see for yourself the way that law enforcement is useless. Come on people you still think it is ok to take your dog outback and put a bullet in it's head. I am outraged that Louisiana is a part of the United States. they obviously think they are there own country.
