Phrases you don't expect to see on medication for your cat:
"Do Not Use This Medicine If You Are Breastfeeding"

"Do Not Take With Grapefruit Juice"

I didn't make these up. One of our cats is on medication that can be taken by humans as well, and I just noticed these warning stickers today.

3. Yeah I know...
I had a cat (who passed away a couple of years ago). that was on a certain antibiotic for awhile (although I never saw those warnings) and earlier this year, I was treated with the SAME antibiotic (its a very effective antibiotic worked well for both kitty and me). I joked that its cause I'm part feline...

8. what if grapefruit juice is coming out of your nipples?
Would that count as both, or do they cancel each other out? What medication would one take for that condition? Should it be remedied at all?

9. I just had to go look
to see if there were any funny warnings on my cats meds.

Nothing. I guess they're safe. :P
