Hi there, our spice rack fell early this morning and some old bay seasoning fell on the floor. Before I had the chance to clean it, our cat rolled around and ate some of it. We cleaned off her fur and tried to provide her with additional water. Is there any serious risks that can possibly occur from her eating the spice? She only ingested a lick or two

I am sorry to hear about your concern for your kitty Ruth! It does not appear that Old Bay Seasoning has any ingredients that cause toxicity in cats and if she ingested just a few licks, it is not likely to cause her any issues, but I would monitor for vomiting/diarrhea/decreased appetite and contact your vet if these occur.
