Plums are unfortunately toxic to cats, so it's important to take action quickly. Here's what you should do:

  1. Contact your veterinarian immediately. This is the most important step. They can advise you on the best course of action based on the amount of plum ingested and your cat's condition. You can find emergency vet clinics by searching online or calling your regular vet for a recommendation.
  2. Gather information. While waiting to hear from your vet, try to determine how much of the plum your cat ate and if any other parts (leaves, stem, pit) were consumed. This information will be helpful for the vet.
  3. Do not induce vomiting at home. This can be dangerous for cats, so leave it to the professionals if necessary.

Here are some resources that you may find helpful:

  • American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Poison Control Center: You can call their hotline at (888) 426-4435 (there may be a fee).
  • Pet Poison Helpline: Another option with a hotline at (855) 777-6476 (there may be a fee).

I hope your cat feels better soon!
