When I arrived, several pets and their      were in the waiting room. Mr. Smith, with a cat, chatted with me. "My cat will be        for an uncomfortable stomach in a minute," he said. "My children gave        a bowl of milk. However, if she is given milk, she will get a stomachache.”
Just then, the vet (兽医) walked over to us. “Yes, Mr. Smith is       . Only a few people know this, but milk mustn't be fed to cats      some cats can't take it in easily," the vet said. "Other human foods are bad for pets    . For example, if a dog eats chocolate, it will become     ."
I asked the vet what other        there are for pets around the house. "Well,” she replied, “we should not      small things, such as batteries, lying around as they can be eaten by pets. Last month, a small cat was brought      because it had eaten a button which was on the floor without being noticed. "
