My cat licked frying oil off her paws. Will she get sick from it?

Question

hi, some frying oil were poured on the table & Noushi stepped on it. all her paws were greasy ... she licked herself to get cleaned. I washed her but my question is that does licking it off her is as the same as eating the oil. does it cause her any harm? should I do anything to get it out of her system? thank you.

Cats don't get pancreatitis from eating high fat foods like dogs do, but it can cause some GI upset. Keep an eye on Noushi for now, and if you do have any GI upset, take her into the vet. Best of luck.
