Blue-Emu products contain ingredients like emu oil and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which may not be toxic in small amounts, but can cause digestive upset or other symptoms if ingested by pets. Monitor your cat closely for symptoms such as vomiting, drooling, or changes in behavior. If you notice any unusual signs, consult a veterinarian immediately.
