Do cats eat things randomly?

Yes, cats can randomly eat things. Cats have a strong curiosity and like to play with small objects. They may accidentally swallow these objects, which can lead to intestinal blockage and even death. If you find that your cat has this habit, stop it in time. You can use loud rebukes or water guns to make it understand that this behavior is wrong and will be punished.

How to judge if a cat has eaten an foreign object

First, observe if the cat shows signs of vomiting, and if it vomits up everything it eats. Also, check if the cat has a poor appetite or seems lethargic. If this happens, consult a veterinarian immediately. X-rays or DR scans can only be used to detect large, high-density objects that have been swallowed, such as toy balls or corn kernels. For low-density small objects, such as plastic bags or socks, barium meal contrast imaging is used. If the object cannot be passed naturally, consider surgical treatment based on its location.

What to do if a cat has food poisoning

If your cat has mild food poisoning, give it plenty of water to drink to replenish fluids or inject saline solution to dilute the toxins. The owner can also use emetic drugs to induce vomiting and remove toxins. If necessary, perform gastric lavage and enema. If the cat has severe food poisoning, take it to a pet hospital for treatment to ensure its safety.

What should a cat eat normally

There are mainly two types of cat food: dry food and canned food, mainly consisting of chicken, beef, and fish. Cat owners can also cook plain chicken, beef, and beef fat for their cats. Cats can also eat some fruits, such as apples, pears, and honeydew melons, but don't give them too much fruit. Feed them a small amount.
