Contact a Veterinarian:

- Describe the type and quantity of fried tofu consumed to provide accurate information.
Potential Risks:
- Allergic reactions: Tofu is a soybean product, and some cats may be allergic to soybeans.
- Gastrointestinal upset: Fried foods can be heavy and can cause digestive issues in cats.
- Pancreatitis: High-fat foods, like fried tofu, can trigger pancreatitis, a serious inflammation of the pancreas.
Home Care (if advised by veterinarian):
- Monitor your cat’s behavior and appetite.
- Offer water to prevent dehydration.
- If your cat is vomiting, feed small amounts of bland food, such as boiled chicken or rice.
- Avoid giving your cat any dairy products, as these can worsen digestive issues.
Prevention:
- Keep fried foods out of reach of your cat.
- Supervise your cat when they have access to fried tofu dishes.
- Choose baked or grilled tofu as a healthier alternative.
