It seems you accidentally gave your kitten a small amount of honey. While honey isn't toxic to cats, it's best to keep an eye on her as it isn't a natural part of their diet.
- Monitor your kitten for any unusual behavior or digestive distress.
- Generally, small amounts should not cause harm but avoid it in the future.
- Consult with a vet if you notice any concerning symptoms.
Honey, while not inherently dangerous, can cause digestive upset in kittens due to their sensitive stomachs. Since you've only squirted a small amount, it's likely she will be okay, but it's important to watch for any signs like vomiting or diarrhea. If she shows any of these symptoms, contacting a vet is advisable.
