Contact Your Veterinarian:

- Olives contain high levels of sodium and fat, which can be harmful to cats.
Treatment:
- If your cat is exhibiting symptoms, the veterinarian may recommend inducing vomiting or administering activated charcoal to absorb the toxins.
- In severe cases, intravenous fluids or hospitalization may be necessary.
Prevention:
- Keep olives and other potentially toxic foods out of reach of your cat.
- Supervise your cat when they are in areas where they may come into contact with hazardous substances.
Additional Notes:
- The type of olive (e.g., black, green) does not significantly alter the potential risks.

- If your cat ate a large quantity of olives, the risk of toxicity is higher.
