My kitten has somehow found a way on the counter and to the bacon grease. It looks like he's eaten a good amount of it. Will he be ok? Is there something I can do? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 4 months and 14 days old | 19 lbs

You may notice that Leo has some gastrointestinal symptoms after eating the bacon grease. These would include vomiting, diarrhea, and inappetance. If Leo has these symptoms for more than 24 hours I would recommend taking him in to see you vet as he may need some medication to help stop the vomiting and/or clear up the diarrhea. Just keep a close eye on him for the next day or so, he should be fine. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
