CATDOLL : Will a cat die if it eats shrimp and vomits?

Cats will not necessarily die if they eat shrimp and vomit, but there are some risks. Shrimp contains a substance called propanol, and cats' livers lack the enzyme to effectively metabolize propanol, which may lead to propanol poisoning, affecting the central nervous system, and even death in severe cases. In addition, the arsenic content in shrimp heads is high, which is toxic to cats. Excessive consumption of shrimp may also cause indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea and other problems in cats.

At the same time, if the shrimp is not cooked, it may contain parasites, posing a health risk to cats. However, not all cats will have adverse reactions to eating shrimp. Some cats can eat shrimp in moderation without abnormalities. If a cat has symptoms such as allergies or indigestion after eating shrimp, it should seek medical attention immediately. In general, in order to protect the health of cats, it is best not to let them eat shrimp, especially unprocessed crayfish or shrimp heads.
