A feline health alert.

I don't have cable but I watch Animal Planet when I can on t.v.'s that do. I enjoy watching those "Animal Cops" shows where animal control authorities or the local ASPCA rescue animals from humans not tame enough to take care of them properly. I eventually checked out the show's web site, and signed up for these ASPCA e-mail alerts. Here's one I recieved today:

"FELINE HEALTH ALERT: MINOXIDIL CAN BE POISONOUS TO CATS
It may be used to promote hair growth in humans, but even minimal amounts of minoxidil can result in a serious or even fatal situation for companion felines."

Now there was something I definately didn't know, and was thankful to learn about.
