If a cat eats a mouse who has eaten mouse poison, will the cat be poisoned???

Answer 1

Probably yes.

I checked it, and yes, it is dangerous. It's called secundary poisening.

Answer 2

No. Most poisons are diluted in the animal in which has injested the poison. It is usually a small amount in comparison to the size of the feline and most cats will not eat a dead mouse unless they are really hungry. Not your usual house cat. Don't fret.

Answer 3

Yes, it would be the same as the cat eating the poison.

Answer 4

Depends on the type of poison. Some contain warfarin or a coumadin related compound and since rodents can't regurgitate, it would kill the mouse, but the cat would be unaffected as they can regurgitate it.
