Cat accidentally ate left out spaghetti bolognese

[Stopittt79]

As per the title. I feel really bad about it but DD had left her plate out in the kitchen and I had fallen asleep before clearing up. She's eaten all of it! Will she be ok? Do I need to take her to the vets? She's normally on dry complete (Applaws).

She will be fine.
May not need much food today 😆

My dcat has eaten birds and mice, assume a bit of leftovers would be OK!!

I'd rather have spag bol than cat biscuits

Did it contain onion and/or garlic? Both can be bad for cats. If it did I would think about contacting your vets for advice.

Oh good ok, thanks for replying. Yes I've left her usual food out but she might need a light day today

Well it was a M&S equivalent dolmio sauce type thing. It probably had onions and garlic yes

My cat is also a terror for any food left out, so I've been there! I even once caught her licking a frozen chicken nugget!

I don’t think she ate it accidentally
Aside from the joking I’m sure she will be fine. Just keep an eye out for a bad tummy or any sickness and call the vets if you feel concerned.

She'll be fine! Maybe she's Italian?

My cat ate half a chocolate cake with no ill effects whatsoever.

Haha yes I realised that saying it was accidental was way off the mark! She really meant to eat it, and looks like she enjoyed it too.

My understanding of onions and garlic is that they're bad for cats and dogs if they're eaten regularly - can cause anaemia iirc. This came to light because of idiot owners routinely giving their pets human food (eg prepared baby food instead of cat food, goodness knows why). I don't believe it's likely to cause an issue as a one-off.

My prediction is that if it was a small amount it will be fine, if it was a lot then she may get an upset tummy. I'd be inclined to confine her to a room with a hard floor and a litter tray for the day.

Here she is, looking like butter wouldn't melt!!

If she ate a large amount, I’d put her outside in case of any ‘accidents’. More because of the sheer volume rather than the ingredients.

That's the face of a cat who ate bolognaise and isn't even sorry

Oh don't be ridiculous of course she will be fine! It's meat, vegetables and pasta... All of that is inside cat food. If it was very oily or rich you might want to watch she doesn't throw it up though.
As others have said, cats generally eat rabbits, birds, mice etc when left to their own devices.

Your cat looks full and smug!

Ok thanks for the advice! I'm new to being under the claw so wasn't sure

I don't think it was an accident. The cat meant to do it.

Maybe she is trying to tell you your choice of dcat food isn't adequate?

She is beautiful! I wouldn’t worry, just be extra vigilant for 24 hours

Mine is obsessed with human food
Porridge, yoghurt, custard, jacket potato (his fave), baked beans, cheese (only strong stuff), tuna pate, scrambled eggs, cabbage...

We had a car that loved space Bol. And cheddar loves pasta!

She is absolutely gorgeous and looks very pleased with life!

Another one who came on to say that I don't think it was accidental.

She is beautiful, OP. Hope she doesn't feel any negative effects.
