My beloved cat

Amber died April 6th at 8:30pm. I had given him a natural product called "Flea Free" containing garlic which I learned is very toxic (poisonous) to cats and other animals. I also met a woman who had killed her cat with it plus a woman who had killed her dog by feeding him garlic for fleas.

I was also feeding Amber the so called "proper" dosage of Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth which is used in conjunction with Flea Free. 
So, I killed my own cat whom I loved dearly by not researching the age old myths we all take for granted before feeding it to him. 
After his death I discovered he had a dormant infection which is deadly to cats but with treatment they can live normal lives for many years with it. The garlic activated it and he died. 
Please keep in mind the other two dead animals I spoke of did NOT have any other health problems.

I also learned garlic is very good for many things in humans....providing they are NOT taking blood thinners or blood pressure medicines.
Then people must be extremely careful in using any amount of garlic or onions. I copied the following hoping it will help save an animal somewhere from the fate my sweet Amber suffered.

Cats will sometimes beg for food, but you must be aware that certain foods given to cats are toxic. Giving cats the foods that you eat is not an encouraged behavior, because it spoils his appetite for his canned food. If you give food from your plate to your cat, you'll only support his behavior to beg.

In case you can't resist not sharing your food, be careful not to feed him foods that are cat poison.

1. Chocolate
Chocolate is toxic for cats because it has a compound called theobromine. Theobromine can be fatal to cats. Cats don't have the capacity to efficiently digest this substance, so it's highly poisonous. White chocolate has insignificant amounts of theobromine. However, regular milk chocolate ingested in poisonous amounts can result in vomiting, diarrhea, fever, seizure, coma and even death.

2. Onions and Garlic
Onions and garlic are toxic to cats due to their contents of N-propyl disulphide. This substance has the power to cause anemia by annihilating the red blood cells. Onions are more poisonous than garlic, but keep your cat away from both. Don't forget that even meats may be spiced with garlic or onion, so make sure you check the labels.

3. Potato Family of Plants - Raw
Green tomatoes contain a substance called Glycoalkanoid Solamine, which is poisonous for cats. This substance is present in the family of plants of Solanaceae, informally known as the nightshade or the potato family - which includes tomatoes, potatoes, paprika, chili pepper, eggplant, petunia or the deadly nightshade (belladonna).

If cooked or fully ripe, your cat will have no problem digesting these ingredients. However, don't feed them while they are still raw. The leaves and stems of these plants are very toxic to cats and will cause lower gastrointestinal pain and aggressive symptoms.

4. Grapes
Grapes may be toxic to cats. Avoid feeding them grapes or even raisins, which contain the same substances as grapes.

5. Caffeine
Any product containing caffeine may be toxic to cats. The caffeine excites the nervous system and will cause shaking and vomiting or diarrhea.

These are the 5 main foods that you should avoid giving your cat. However, if the cat has any food intolerance, those foods may also be toxic. There are a lot of lactose-intolerant cats. Food poisoning will be signaled by vomiting, diarrhea, fever, lethargy, cramps, rashes or seizures. You will be able to notice these symptoms within 12 hours after the ingestion of the poisonous food. Go immediately to the vet to avoid further complications.
