The key thing to watch for is whether your cat ate any part of the apple besides the flesh. Here's what to do:
If your cat only ate the flesh of the apple:
- A small amount of apple flesh is generally okay for cats.
- Monitor your cat for any signs of digestive upset like vomiting or diarrhea.
- If you notice any discomfort, consult your veterinarian.
If your cat ate the seeds, stem, or leaves:
- These parts contain small amounts of cyanide, which is toxic to cats.
- Contact your veterinarian or animal poison control immediately.
- In the US, you can call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.
General Tips:
- Regardless of what part of the apple was eaten, if your cat seems lethargic, has dilated pupils, or is panting heavily, take them to the vet right away.
- When offering your cat any human food, it's always best to consult with your veterinarian first to ensure it's safe.
