Greengages themselves are not considered toxic to cats. However, a few things to consider:

• Amount eaten: A small nibble is likely harmless, but a large amount could cause an upset stomach.
• Seeds: The pit of the greengage contains trace amounts of cyanide, just like other stone fruits. This is only dangerous if ingested in large quantities.
• Pesticides: If the greengage was not organic and had pesticides on the skin, that could be harmful.

Here’s what to do:

• Monitor your cat: Watch for signs of vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or loss of appetite.
• If you see concerning symptoms or your cat ate a large amount of the fruit, contact your veterinarian immediately.
• In the US, you can also call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. There may be a consultation fee.

Remember, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you’re worried, consult a vet.
