My cat ate dried sweet potato. Is it safe? Will it upset their stomach?

Question

I would like to know if cats can eat dried sweet potatoes. My cat ate a small piece (about 1 cm) and I'm not sure if sweet potatoes cause indigestion. Thank you!

There are no toxicity concerns with sweet potatoes in cats, With any new food, some animals that may have a sensitive digestive tract may have GI upset including diarrhea and vomiting. With this small of an ingestion I think it unlikely but would monitor for these signs and if they persist seek veterinary care.
