My cat ate cheese from the disposal. Should I be worried about him?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 15 lbs

My cat got into my sink and apparently grabbed the sliced cheese that was already in my disposal. When I woke up I saw chewed cheese slices on the floor. Do you think he’ll be ok?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cat. Cheese should not be toxic to him, but could cause some gastrointestinal upset. I would monitor him for any vomiting or diarrhea. If so, he will need to see his veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
