Oh no! Boosting for all cat owners.

Anything with ibuprofen or its derivatives is highly toxic to cats, not just specific types. If you think your cat has ingested any, get to a vet ASAP. Your cat WILL DIE.

Oh my god, I thought my sister was being alarmist when I told her my cat likes to lick my hands clean and she warned me to be careful what I put on them.
