Cats should not eat raisins. Raisins (and grapes) can be toxic to cats and may lead to kidney injury, even in small amounts. If a cat ingests raisins, contact a veterinarian or an emergency pet poison helpline immediately, as prompt evaluation is important. Key points:

• Toxicity risk is real and dose-dependent, though exact thresholds vary between individuals.
• Symptoms to watch for after ingestion include vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, lethargy, and decreased appetite, potentially progressing to kidney failure.
• Do not wait for symptoms to appear; seek urgent veterinary advice if ingestion is suspected.

What to do now:

• Do not induce vomiting or give home remedies unless directed by a veterinarian.
• If the cat recently ate raisins (within a few hours), note the amount and time of ingestion for the vet.
• Bring the cat to a veterinary clinic promptly for assessment and possible treatment (fluids, monitoring, labs).
