not to sound like Tom Cruise...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, cats should not be taking adderall. This is from sciencenews.org. Click that link to read the whole article.

"To check, I phoned Shire today and spoke with Matt Cabrey, its director of corporate communications. He confirmed that indeed, the company was unaware of Adderall’s palatability to cats. So there are naturally no plans to add any warning to the drug’s label, he says.

Maybe pediatricians should become another target audience for these tox data. They prescribe the drug. And they interact directly with the people who bring it into their homes. Then again, doctors should probably mention something periodically to their patients about just generally safeguarding all drugs from pets."

Again, I'm not anti-adderall, I'm pro ADD... especially in cats.
