Cats can actually have a small amount of apple flesh, but there are a few things to consider:
- Amount: The key is moderation. A bite or two shouldn’t cause any problems. If your cat ate a significant portion of an apple, it’s best to consult your veterinarian.
- Preparation: The apple should be washed and chopped into small pieces. Remove the seeds, stem, and leaves as these contain small amounts of cyanide, which is toxic to cats. Some cats may also have trouble digesting the peel, so it’s best to remove that as well.
Here’s what you can do now:
- Monitor your cat: Keep an eye on your cat for the next 24 hours. Look for any signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. These could be signs of digestive upset or, in rare cases, cyanide poisoning from the seeds.
- Call your veterinarian if: Your cat seems unwell or ate a large amount of the apple, especially the seeds. Your vet will be able to advise on the best course of action.
Overall, if your cat only had a small amount of the apple flesh, they should be fine. But it’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you’re concerned at all, consult with your veterinarian for peace of mind.
