I know; with such a long message, it turned out to be really hard to score the suggestions by hand.
(And by 'hand' I mean 'copy and paste in a text editor'  )
Didn't think of writing a script to do that before posting...

...has Nagy got a pet? Only in Japan, I guess: Never Drink Alone Again Because Now There’s Wine for Cats[^]
I'm not sure which is worse: that there's a company that thinks there is a market for this, or that there is a market for this...

Not until there is also gin for cats! 
Interesting to know that Japanese cats say nyan nyan - how the hell did that happen? Saounds like an entirely different sound. Either that or somebody has translated it wrong...

The belief that onomatopoeic words are essentially the same in every language is a complete myth. The English meow (also found in most European languages) is simply a transliteration of the Egyptian word for cat (Egypt is the 'spiritual' home of the domestic cat). Korean cats go 'yaong', Kazakh cats go 'mïyawlaw', and Greek cats go Niaou. But that's nothing compared to the huge diversity of words for the sounds that dogs make. After all, we can't even fix on a single English word for it!

I didn't know that - but apparently so. According to t'interwebs[^], they can cause kidney failure in cats and dogs. I didn't know that!

Coffee and chocolate is equally poisonous for dogs and probably cats as well.

You obviously have never owned been the client of a cat. There is no need for them to 'get up in the morning', as they do not 'get up', ever.
Unless they're hungry or thirsty. Or they feel like scratching their claws on the good sofa. Or they want to be petted for precisely 17.65 seconds.

They're also toxic to humans, let's not forget. The only difference is that we can tolerate much higher doses because of our body mass. A dog is not going to keel over from a sip of coffee or tea or nabbing a chocolate digestive. A Chihuahua is, of course, at greater risk than a Newfoundland but even so it takes a not insignificant amount to do any real harm. It's not cyanide!

Grapes and dried grapes (raisins and sultanas) have been found to be toxic but only in a tiny proportion of animals ... I don't know that there have yet been enough reported cases to determine whether this is a genetic predisposition but it would be a fair bet. Also the actual substance involved has not yet been identified as far as I know which means that it's entirely possible that it is not carried over into juice and wine. I presume that some testing has been done in Japan which is cat mad!

Right: This one is from Nagy, but he's house hunting today so I'm posting it for him.
Disclaimer: he wrote this, he wrote it very deliberately, and it's not my idea in any way, shape, or form. Do not blame me, I'm just the messenger!

If that didn't contain "a poet", I would have said "Dalek Dave".
