Large black ants may bite cats, causing minor irritation.
Fire ants are particularly dangerous due to their venomous bites, which can cause painful reactions and potentially serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
Chemical ant killers used on ants can pose significant health risks to cats.
Suggestions
Monitor your cat if it consumes ants, especially if fire ants are present.
Avoid using chemical ant killers and opt for pet-safe products.
Note: even if labeled as safe, any food can potentially cause allergies. When introducing a new food, please feed a small amount and observe your cat for any allergic reactions.
