My cat ate maple syrup and threw up. Is it toxic? When to see a vet?

Question

I cant find anything that says it is on Google but is Syurp (like Maple Syurp) toxic to cats if they have a few licks? My girl got into my saucer that had bits of pancake left over with butter and Syurp and threw up now shes sleeping (other wise acting normal as she usually is) Do I need to take her in?

Maple syrup isn't toxic to cats, but the sugar could upset Mirz's stomach. The butter could have caused the vomiting as well since cats are lactose intolerant. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps.
