In most cases, a single blueberry shouldn’t be harmful to your cat. Blueberries are generally considered safe for cats in small amounts [1]. They even contain some antioxidants and vitamins that can be beneficial.
Here’s what you can do:
- Monitor your cat: Keep an eye on your cat for the next 24 hours. Look out for any signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or lack of appetite. These could be signs of digestive upset, but are unlikely from a single blueberry.
- Amount matters: If your cat ate a significant amount of blueberries (more than a handful), it might be best to consult your veterinarian.
- Underlying conditions: If your cat has any underlying health conditions, like diabetes or digestive issues, consult your vet before giving them any human food, including blueberries.
If you’re concerned about your cat’s reaction to the blueberry, or they show any negative symptoms, contact your veterinarian. They can advise on the best course of action based on your cat’s specific situation.
