If your cat has eaten a raw potato, it is important to take them to the vet immediately. Raw potatoes contain a toxin called solanine, which can be toxic to cats in large amounts. Symptoms of solanine poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and abdominal pain.
If your cat has eaten a cooked potato, it is less likely to be harmful. However, cooked potatoes are still high in carbohydrates, which can cause weight gain and other health problems if fed to cats in large amounts.
If you are unsure whether your cat has eaten a raw or cooked potato, it is best to err on the side of caution and take them to the vet. The vet will be able to examine your cat and determine if they have eaten a potato and, if so, whether it is likely to cause any harm.
