As a cat owner who uses the occasional muscle-relief lotion to combat arthritis pain, I was upset to read this article:

To summarize, the lotions that we use for our aches and pains, are fatal for our kitties. So if you use the lotion, don’t let your kitties lick you. If you use the lotion and then a blanket, make sure you wash the blanket after use before putting it in the same room as your kitty.

We all know those little purr-balls can help us feel better, so lets keep them safe!
