About What Can My Cat Eat?

A UK cat safety reference built around one idea: you should be able to find a clear answer faster than you can find the phone.

Why this site exists

If your cat has eaten something you're not sure about, you have about 60 seconds of panic before the anxiety compounds. Most websites waste that minute on a cookie banner, a pop-up, three paragraphs of history, and an explanation of why the site exists.

This site skips that. Every page leads with a one-line verdict, followed immediately by what to do if your cat has eaten the thing. Longer context is below the fold, for when you've already called the vet and want to understand what's going on.

How the guidance is put together

Every entry is compiled from published UK veterinary toxicology sources — the Veterinary Poisons Information Service (VPIS), International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM) resources, RCVS-registered vet practices, and peer-reviewed feline medicine literature. Where evidence is mixed (as with grape toxicity in cats), we err on the cautious side.

This is general information. It is not a substitute for your vet. If your cat has eaten something, call your vet or the Animal PoisonLine (01202 509000) first.
