One of my cats just ate about 10 sunflower seeds (w/o shells)

Any reason to worry?

1. A quck google search does not reveal any problems...

I'll keep looking and let you know if I find anything.

[Flaxbee]

6. thank you!

I didn't see anything when I googled, either, but I don't always trust my results....

2. no....

No worries-- sunflower seeds are just fine. Cats eat them all the time, but usually repackaged as song birds....

5. lol

10. LOL!

THAT, my friend, was a fabulous display of wit if ever I've seen one. :thumbsup:

3. This link says sunflower plants are safe for cats...

so I would assume no problems with the seeds.

7. OK, excellent

I appreciate your help, philboy! Was hoping I didn't have to race to the vet's office....

8. You're welcome!

To put your mind at ease, you may just want to ring your vet in the morning to confirm.

This might be a good place to remind people that grapes and raisins can be poisonous to dogs.

9. Sounds like a smart cat.

"...now that I have sunflower seeds on my breath, a bird will smell them and just walk right into my mouth...."

12. That is an awesome photo.

Is that yours?

That is such an adorable cat, and I love that look. :)

11. You might have a slightly stronger smelling litter box

as those seeds clean him/her out. :P

[Flaxbee]

13. oooh, stinky

we already have one cat whose poo just smells atrocious all the time. Vet says nothing is wrong with her, she might just have a sensitive digestive system. Not looking forward to another one that makes my eyes water....
oh well, as long as she's OK!


How're you doing, ThomCat?

[ThomCat]

14. I can't thank you enough!

I'm doing very, very well. Natalia is awesome! :)

If I could dance, I would be dancing in my living room enjoying my wonderfully clean and neat apartment!

[Flaxbee]

15. good! I'm so happy to hear

Natalia has been able to help you! I wasn't sure how it was all working out (or if it was)... Hooray!

16. Once left a bag of fenegreek seeds for a friend who wasn't home

She said the cats got into the seeds and noshed a lot. They LOVED them. I guess cats are not the total carnivores we thought.

The seeds contain vital fats. Kitty probably knew that was good for the system.
