Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / October 2004Is mayonnaise bad for cats?
My year old cat got into some mayonnaise that was on the kitchen counter and ate some of it. About a hour after he ate the mayo, he threw up and you could see some of the remnants of the mayo. Is mayonnaise bad for cats? I read the ingredients and they included dried garlic and dried onion which I know isn't good for cats.

It is if he's watching his cholesterol. :) Seriously, I don't think dairy products are good for adult cats, either, aside from the ingredients you mention. But the good news is that he threw it up, so it's out of his system.

But the good news is that he threw it up, so it's out of his system. And yet they love them. Cheeks tries to get my salad bowls for the ranch dressing, and I caught her lapping at a dollop of sour cream once, too. > And yet they love them. Well, I love them, too! ;) Signaturehttp://www.mindspring.com/~slywy/ >> My year old cat got into some mayonnaise that was on the kitchen counter and >> ate some of it.

How far down were onions listed on the ingredients list? How much did your cat eat? Also, gotta watch high fat treats because they cause a imbalance in the cat's caloric intake. If they eat too much fat they'll meet their energy needs and stop eating before their nutritional needs are met. Phil The onions and garlic were a little over half way down the list of ingredients. My cat ate probably about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of the mayo. He did throw up about 45 minutes later, and there was some of the mayo remnants in what he threw up, but I know he probably ingested some of it. He seems to be doing okay this morning. No more vomiting since that one incident. S. >> My year old cat got into some mayonnaise that was on the kitchen counter > and [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Phil |
