Coffee contains caffeine, which is toxic to cats and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and even death. It’s best to keep your cat away from coffee and any other caffeinated products such as tea, soda, and energy drinks. The symptoms of caffeine poisoning can include restlessness, rapid breathing, muscle tremors, and a racing heartbeat. If your cat has consumed caffeine, it’s important to contact your veterinarian immediately.
Onions and Garlic
Onions and garlic contain compounds that can damage cats’ red blood cells, leading to anemia. This can happen if a cat eats large amounts of raw onions or garlic, or even small amounts of onion or garlic powder. Even small amounts can cause harm, and the symptoms of onion and garlic poisoning can take several days to appear. Symptoms to look out for include vomiting, diarrhea, and weakness. If you suspect your cat has consumed onions or garlic, it’s important to contact your veterinarian immediately.
