Prunes, like their close relative plums, contain pits and trace amounts of cyanide which can be harmful to cats. Here’s what you should do:

Call your veterinarian immediately. This is the most important step. They can advise you on the best course of action based on the amount ingested and your cat’s condition.

Here’s some information you can share with your vet to help them assess the situation:

  • How much of the prune did your cat eat? (the whole fruit, a piece, just the pit?)
  • How long ago did they eat it?
  • Is your cat showing any symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or weakness?

In the meantime, avoid inducing vomiting at home unless specifically instructed by your veterinarian.

Here are some resources you can look at for further information:

I hope this helps! Remember, the sooner you get your cat to the vet, the better.
