Grapefruit can be toxic to cats, so it's important to take action if you think yours has eaten some. Here's what you should do:
1. Contact your veterinarian immediately. They can advise you on the best course of action depending on the amount of grapefruit consumed and any symptoms your cat is showing. You can find emergency vet clinics by searching online or calling your regular vet for recommendations.
2. Monitor your cat for signs of poisoning. These can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Depression
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Drooling
- Tremors
- Disorientation
3. Do not induce vomiting yourself. This should only be done under the guidance of a veterinarian.
4. Keep your cat calm and comfortable. Avoid giving them any food or water until you speak to a vet.
5. Inform the vet of the amount of grapefruit consumed (if possible) and any symptoms your cat is showing. The quicker they have this information, the sooner they can start treatment.

I hope this information helps. Please remember, I am not a veterinarian and this information should not be a substitute for professional medical advice. The most important thing is to get your cat to the vet as soon as possible.
