Please Read! Bromethrin Rat Poison Warning!

[HuskerHens18]

Found all four cats, 3 are acting decently normal, but Fluffy is losing the use of his back legs. His eyes are NOT dilated like Aela's were yesterday. He's making low howling noises and his ears won't stop moving, they're twitching in every direction without stop.
That means there are 3 cats left who HAVE to make it the next 24 hours without symptoms. Fluffy is about 3 years old at most.
Smudge is almost 7
Abby is 8
Ed is 5

I can’t believe that this is happening to you, I feel so awful for you. I will be sending all my thoughts to you and you poor kitties.

Another observation, I do not think Fluffy ate as much as the others did. He stopped twitching, but he still can't stand and just moans. I can definitely tell he is still aware of everything. If he's alive tomorrow I may take him to the vet for euthanasia. He still wants to be petted and given attention, so I know it's really him and not the poison acting.

I have been pampering all the cats today, I spent all day outside with them. If this really is their final day, I wanted it to be a good one. I gave them ALL my fresh eggs, they've gotten hamburger, chicken, popcorn, and a few other treats. Not to mention the endless cuddling and kisses. Fluffy still eats, so I've given him some eggs too.

I am so sorry, this is even more heartbreaking having to wait this out. Hang in there.

Good morning, just checking up to see how you all got through the night. You have to be exhausted.

I guess my point is, not only is this bromethrin 100% lethal, pets are flat out attracted to it. That would make sense, the window is facing AWAY from the house, but if something smelled like food, of course they'd go investigate [...]

Alas, sadly, many (most?) poisons and baits have added scents and ingredients that are very attractive (to a range of species), to entice the "problem" animal to eat them!

All three cats are here, they've all eaten and got drinks.
Smudge is acting his normal self, Abby didn't eat a lot, and Ed is a little wobbly on his back legs.
Ed also has a strange scrape on his side, we're wondering if he got hit and that's why he's wobbly. I'm keeping a close eye on him, as the timing is weird.
5pm today marks 48 hours since the incident, but I'll still keep a close eye on them for another few days.

Fluffy is still alive, but he's unconscious, so I'll leave him alone.
