Prunes are not toxic to cats, but they could cause digestive issues such as upset stomach or diarrhea. Keep an eye on your cat for any unusual symptoms.
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Lethargy or unusual behavior
- Refusal to eat or drink
Cats are known to be curious eaters at times, and while prunes themselves aren't toxic, the high fiber content might upset your cat's digestive system. Additionally, prunes are not a natural part of a cat’s diet and may risk causing gastrointestinal discomfort. Monitoring your cat for any signs of distress will ensure she's okay. If your cat displays any troubling symptoms, contacting a veterinarian is recommended.
