About
What Can My Cat Eat? is a UK-based cat safety reference site. We summarise current UK veterinary guidance on which human foods, plants, medicines, and household products are safe — or dangerous — for cats, so you can make a quick, informed decision when you're not sure.
All entries are written against current UK veterinary sources, including the Veterinary Poisons Information Service (VPIS) database and RCVS-accredited guidance. We update entries when clinical understanding changes.
Our approach
We are not vets. This site is an educational reference, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your cat has eaten something you're worried about — call your vet first, then use this site to understand the risk level while you wait.
Our content focuses on the UK, because toxicity thresholds, available treatments, and even which species of plant are common differ between countries. We note where something is UK-specific.
Accuracy and corrections
We aim for factual accuracy but cannot guarantee every entry is current with the latest research. If you spot an error, please report it here — we take corrections seriously.
