Title: Are Raspberrys toxic to cats?
Post by: Pinkbear (Julie) on January 27, 2008, 18:18:05 PM

Well, are they?  :scared:

I'm looking for a naturally occuring, strongly pigmented substance that can be liquidised. It has to be non-toxic for cats. Raspberrys are high on the list of suitable things if they can't harm the puds. Can't say what it's all about yet,  :shoosh: but its to do with fundraising and if it works, I'll show you all the results.  :ok:

Ive no idea but they grow readily outdoors and ive never heard of raspberry poisoning so i'd hazzard a guess at either no they arent or cats hate them ?

I had a dog who would go along the rows of Raspberry canes and turn back its lips and ease the ripe raspberries off the canes and eat them with great rolling of eyes and other evidence of pleasure!!
