Risks

  • Gum often contains xylitol, a sugar substitute that is highly toxic to cats.
  • Ingesting xylitol can cause a rapid release of insulin, leading to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), seizures, liver failure, and even death.
  • Additionally, gum can pose a choking hazard or cause intestinal blockages.

Suggestions

  • Keep all gum out of reach of cats and ensure they do not have access to any products containing xylitol.
  • If your cat ingests gum, seek veterinary assistance immediately.
