Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. Evidence in cats is weaker, but there are reports of illness and the ASPCA advises keeping them away from cats. Treat any exposure seriously and call your vet.
Signs to watch for
- Vomiting
- Lethargy
- Drinking and peeing more, then less
What to do if your cat ate it
- Note what was eaten, roughly how much and when.
- Call your vet, an emergency clinic or a pet poison hotline before symptoms start.
- Never try to make a cat vomit at home. Home remedies such as salt or hydrogen peroxide can badly hurt cats.
