My cat ate bread with mayo. Should I worry about his health?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 year and 6 months old

I made a mayo and ham and cheese sandwich and put it in a sandwich baggie ontop of my counter. I heard my cat doing something so i went out to look and he started tearing through the bag and ate some of the bread with mayo. Will he be alright?

Sneaky boy! Yes, he’ll be fine. If anything he could vomit or have diarrhea but I don’t expect any problem. Cats in the wild eat lots of things they aren’t supposed to without many issues. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for your cat.
