H&B, that last pic--be careful with "trouble" around chemicals until he gets a little older and ahem, wiser. Years ago I remember on my folks' sheep farm, several ewes got very sick and we couldn't figure out why. Turned out the radiator on one of the tractors was leaking, and the idiot sheep were licking up the antifreeze. Fortunately, none died. The vet told us that a lot of dogs and cats get poisoned that way[]--apparently, the ethylene glycol is tasty to them.
Yeah I know. I wiped off the lines good before taking the pic and my fuel is definately stored in a safe place where she could never get to it. I lost my last 5 year old cat from a heart and lung disease the vet said. I really beleive it was the fumes from the CA Glue that actually caused it whenever I used it not thinking the cat was actually breathing it in.

I quit using CA Glue all together after that! I was an emotional wreck for 3 months after I had to have her euthenized. I couldn't stand seeing her gasp for air any longer and the vet said if it was his cat, it would be best to stop her from suffering.
