My cat ​​ate an “paella”. What should I do?

If your cat ate a paella with seafood, onions, or garlic:

  • Monitor your cat closely for any signs of distress: Vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or difficulty breathing.
  • If your cat shows any symptoms, seek veterinary attention immediately.
  • Seafood: Seafood can contain harmful bacteria, parasites, or toxins.
  • Onions: Onions can damage red blood cells, leading to anemia.
  • Garlic: Garlic is toxic to cats in large amounts.

If your cat ate a paella without seafood, onions, or garlic:

  • Monitor your cat for any changes in behavior or appetite: Any unusual symptoms may indicate a problem.
  • The other ingredients in paella (e.g., rice, vegetables, meat) are generally safe for cats. However, the high fat content may cause stomach upset.
  • If your cat has a sensitive stomach or is overweight, avoid giving it large amounts of paella.
