Within the grooming section, change "The cat's tongue has backward-facing spines about 0.5 millimeter long, called lingual papillae, which contain keratin making them rigid" to "The cat's tongue has backward-facing spines about 0.5 millimeter long, called filiform papillae, which contain keratin making them rigid"

Good to include that things like paint thinners can cause poisoning to cats, the source also lists antifreeze and swimming pool chemicals, perhaps that should be included so people know to lock out things like that because poisoning cats is not okay?

I understand, if giving an example (and not a how to), I think swimming pool chemicals is more encyclopaedic as it's more relevant to what would most likely be found, as even if painting outside is occurring it is incredibly unlikely someone would put paint thinner everywhere.

Household cleaners are far more common around homes than swimming pool chemicals, if we're using that as a criterion for what to use as an example. Changed article.Meters (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

The first sentence in the Diet section has a grammar (tense) error. Please change "The cat is an obligate carnivore and have adapted to a low-fibre highly digestible meat diet." to "The cat is an obligate carnivore and has adapted to a low-fibre highly digestible meat diet."
