Kiwis are not poisonous to cats, so if your cat ate a small amount, there’s likely no need to worry. Here’s a breakdown:
Small amount (few bites):
- Monitor your cat for the next 24 hours. Look for signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy.
- If your cat seems happy and healthy, they’re probably fine.
Large amount or concerning signs:
- If your cat ate a significant amount of kiwi or shows any signs of illness, contact your veterinarian immediately.
- You can find contact information for emergency veterinary clinics in your area by searching online or calling your regular vet.
General recommendations:
- Avoid giving your cat kiwi in the future. Cats are obligate carnivores and don’t need fruit in their diet.
- Always remove the skin and seeds before offering any human food to your cat. The skin can be a choking hazard and the seeds may cause digestive upset.
Additional Resources:
- You can also reach out to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. There may be a consultation fee.
