"Cats are especially susceptible to health hazards from e-cigarettes. Propylene Glycol, one of the primary ingredients in the e-cig’s vapor, can lead to “Heinz body,” where the red blood cells become damaged. Cats can ingest this substance by licking or chewing on the device."

"However, reports in the veterinary literature of scientifically sound studies have shown that propylene glycol reduces the red blood cell survival time, renders red blood cells more susceptible to oxidative damage, and has other adverse effects in cats consuming the substance at levels found in soft-moist food. In light of these new data, CVM amended the regulations to expressly prohibit the use of propylene glycol in cat foods"


Correct me if i'm wrong but wouldn't
"Cats can ingest this substance by licking or chewing on the device."
and
"adverse effects in cats consuming the substance at levels found in soft-moist food."
be two totally different ballparks? - 5150

We've got several cats. None have ever shown the slightest interest in any of my devices or the bottles of liquid on my desk.

The only interest my cats have shown in my juice or mods is knocking them over all the time.

I let my girlfriends cat smell the eliquid through the drip tip end of my tank.
If she turns her nose at it in a second or two instead of instantly that means the juice will be good.
It works every time.

Easy fix, don't let your cats eat your juice and no worries
