A small dose of nicotine is poisonous to cats about 4mg (per pound of cats weight) is a lethal dose, and a cigarette can have anything between 9-30mg depending on the type of tobacco.
omg MWB tobacco is poisonous.
Try your kitten with a plastic straw cut it down to half size
both my kittens love playing with plastic straws. I read somewhere on the internet that they are good for teething.
One of my kittens runs havoc around the house carrying a sock in his mouth.
