If your cat consumed a small amount of baking soda, it is generally not considered toxic, but you should monitor her for any adverse reactions and consult a vet if necessary.

- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Seizures (rare but severe side effect)
Baking soda, while not acutely toxic at small doses, can upset a cat's stomach and might cause more severe reactions if consumed in large quantities. It's important to monitor your cat for any unusual behavior or symptoms. If you notice anything concerning, it's best to contact a veterinarian for guidance.
