Now it's my turn to say Wow! I had no idea that warfarin was used for medicinal purposes! I can tell you, it never improved the health of the rats in our barn when I was a kid.

I'm glad it helped your husband, though -- I guess it proves conclusively that he's not a rat.
I don't think you're going down the wrong trail by examining all these potential drug interactions, but the question is whether Bina's feral cats are getting any other medications. If the key ingredient in FeralStat is progestin, and if the cats are on no other drugs, the question is the effect of the progestin on the cats. We know some women react poorly to it, but that's hardly any indicator of how it will affect cats.
P.S. I love Blackie's new portraits. He just keeps looking more suave all the time!

You see, warfarin was prescribed for my hubby when he had a semi-stroke (numbed on one side of his body) after he stopped taking his hypertension pills as he didn't like the idea of having kidney and liver failure as a side-effect when he turns 60 or 70, like his father and my grandfather. (they had both taken hypertension medication for more than 30 years, and their liver and kidney had gradually failed as a result of it.)
warfarin is marketed today as anticoagulant, and it really worked in thinning my hubby's blood and helping him recover. but of course, warfarin was not the only drug the doc prescribed. he had like something like 8 different drugs to take 3 times a day.
