My cat ate lemon pepper tuna. Is it safe? What symptoms to watch?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 15 lbs

I opened a pack of Tuna Creations lemon pepper tuna into a bowl. While my back was turned my cat started eating some of it. I have no idea how much he ate, but I don't think it was to much. Shoud I be concerned and what should I be looking for with him if he should get sick? The package does state that it is lightly seasoned. I was surprised that he even ate some of it,

Onion or garlic would be the main seasonings that I can think of that would be toxic in something like this, and I doubt there would be anywhere near enough present to cause a problem. If you can repost your question with a picture of the ingredients we can confirm that there is nothing else that would cause toxicity.
