Cats love to hunt, and they aren’t always aware that some prey animals have effective defenses. Licking or biting toads is unsafe for cats, as well as for dogs and other pets. That’s because many toads exude significant amounts of psychoactive toxins in their skins that cause salivation and foaming at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, throat lesions, and sometimes death.
