<p><font size=3>I don't know that anyone has collected data on the effect
of propylene glycol on wild felines, but it would certainly not be surprising
if they showed sensitivity similar to that seen in domestic cats, so that
may be a reasonable concern in some areas.</font>
<br>
<p><font size=3>Sam or others who've been trapping with propylene glycol
for a while: do you see much evidence of ANY mammals drinking it? One
advantage over ethylene glycol is supposed to be the lack of a sweet taste
possibly making it less appealing (of course, domestic cats supposedly
can't taste "sweet" anyhow). I think the main reason there has
been research on the impact of propylene glycol on cats is with respect
to its use as a food additive.</font>

Yes, this is good for people to be aware of. But I'm guessing cats are
<br>
less inclined to drink the stuff than are many other animals (I'm sure
<br>
someone will correct me if I'm mistaken!). <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Of course, cats should not be wandering around outdoors anyhow: <br>

Apparently cats do have unique sensitivity to propylene glycol, which <br>
is not true of humans, dogs, or cattle. <br>

It would be wise to put the propylene glycol traps in locations where <br>
cats would not have access to them (inside fences, perhaps?) I’ll <br>
think about that for the traps I intend to be putting out next week! <br>
