How Toxic Is Round Up Herbicide (Glyphosate And Pelargonic Acid) To Tortoises? Concerns Over Wide-Spread Use Of Glyphosate And Toxic Effects (Journal Articles)
The important thing is that the tortoise is inside during spraying. Glyphosate binds tightly to soil and really isn't available after the spray dries. Of course, glyphosate kills all plants, so there won't be any grass.

Exceptional Care for Cats - Improving the Experience for the Patient, the Client & the Clinical Team
August 1 - September 1, 2016

The cat is a species that has evolved with a social structure different than ours. Cats are able to function completely efficiently as a solitary creature, yet have complex and changing social interactions. Being both predators and prey affects how they respond in a clinic setting.
