Unlike some other citrus fruits, pomelo itself isn't considered toxic to cats. However, there are still a couple of things to keep in mind:
- Amount Consumed: The flesh of the pomelo might still cause an upset stomach, especially if your cat ate a large amount.
- Other Parts Ingested: The peel, seeds, and leaves of the pomelo can irritate your cat's mouth and digestive system.
Here's what you should do:
- Monitor Your Cat: Look for signs of vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, or loss of appetite over the next 24 hours.
- Remove Remaining Pomelo: Make sure there's no more pomelo for your cat to get into.
- Contact Your Vet: If your cat shows any concerning symptoms or you're worried about the amount consumed, err on the side of caution and call your veterinarian. They can advise on the best course of action and provide treatment if needed.
