Here’s what you should do if your cat ate a strawberry:
- Relax, strawberries are not toxic to cats. A small amount likely won’t cause any problems.
- Monitor your cat for digestive upset. This can include vomiting or diarrhea. If this happens, it’s best to withhold food for a few hours and then offer small bland meals like boiled chicken and white rice.
- Consider the amount eaten. A few nibbles are probably okay, but if your cat gorged on strawberries, call your vet. This is especially true for kittens, senior cats, or cats with health conditions like diabetes.
- Watch for allergic reactions. These are less common, but signs can include itchiness, hives, or facial swelling. If you notice these, contact your vet immediately.
Here’s a breakdown for what to do based on the situation:
- Small amount and no symptoms: Monitor your cat for digestive upset for the next 24 hours.
- Large amount or any symptoms: Contact your veterinarian.
- Cat has diabetes or other health concerns: Call your vet regardless of the amount eaten.
If you’re unsure or worried, err on the side of caution and call your vet. They can advise you on the best course of action based on your cat’s specific situation.
