#CATmageddon Is a Real Thing We Can Avoid by Quitting Smoking

Though the above video can be seen as humorous (who doesn't love shark cat?), the message behind it is not. We all know about the effects that smoking can have on humans, but what about our pets? According to The Truth, when you smoke, your cat is twice as likely to end up with cancer. These are just a few ways that smoking can affect your pets.

  • Your pets breathe in the toxic smoke that's in the air.
  • When your pets sit on your lap, the toxins from the smoke that are inevitably on your clothes transfer to their fur.
  • The smoke that gets on cats' fur ends up in their digestive system when they groom themselves.
  • Your pets can accidentally swallow cigarette butts that aren't disposed of properly.
  • You can transfer the toxins from your hand to your pets' fur when you pet them.

Smoking can put your cats and dogs (and even birds and other small pets) at higher risk for lung, nasal, and oral cancer, just from these few things that smokers do without thinking. As The Truth puts it, smoking = no cats = no cat videos, and no one wants to live in a world without cats.
