I would like to use cedar shavings inside of my home to repel small rodents. Will the cedar shavings have an adverse effect on my grown cat?
Cedar shavings are safe for your grown cat. A cat can actually eat a cedar chip without adverse reaction, however they hate the smell so much that, as a general rule, they wont go near them. Cedar chips are often used outside to deter feral cats from specific areas, without harming them. They are also great for use in cat litter. The scent of cedar greatly reduces the smell of urine, which is a huge relief for many. The cedar wood is not toxic to your cat, but cedar oil is. Essential oils of any kind are toxic to cats and should be avoided at all cost. Good luck with your way with the rodents. Yoy should be the victor in no time by using cedar chips.

Can a ferret get sick by eating chips?
Ferrets are carnivores and lack a cecum and an appendix, making them unable to properly digest any plant matter. Yes, chips could make a ferret sick and possibly cause stomach blockage. Please do not feed your ferrets chips. Advice from another contributor: I'm no expert in this area, but I have ferrets, and I don't think so. It takes no rocket scientist to figure out that a ferret shouldn't be fed on a diet of chips, or it would suffer from malnutrition, but some chips I think would do no harm at all. Make sure the furbetts (as I call them affectionately) have water if they're salty!

Is cedar shingles toxic in a macaw cage?
I don't know whether cedar shingles are toxic in a macaw cage. If you have a pet macaw, I would consult a veterinarian before you put them in the cage. Parrots are very sensitive to many toxins, and everything from candle and cigarette smoke, or even dish soap residue or fumes from a non-stick pan can kill them. Therefor, if cedar is toxic to macaws, it could have a very devastating and rapid affect on a macaw.
