Should cats drink orange juice? Is it safe or unhealthy for them?

Gatorade and other sports drinks could lead to gastrointestinal upset. The sugar content is too high and they have no need for all the additional electrolytes, artificial colors, and artificial flavors. In addition, the low-calorie or 'light' versions of sports drinks likely have artificial sweeteners that also are not good for your cat to ingest. Clean water is the best thing for your cat to drink.

Citrus fruits (especially if the juice was near 100% juice) can cause some GI upset in cats. I would recommend monitoring Tigger for any vomiting and/or diarrhea or lack of appetite. If he only got a small amount, and there was mostly water and sugar in the juice, then he will likely be just fine. If you do see mild symptoms of GI upset, then a vet visit is the next best step. He may need a short course of antibiotics and probiotics and a bland diet to get him back to normal. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope your pet Tigger will be just fine. Take care.

Cranberry juice doesn't work very well for cats with urinary issues. Depending on the type of crystals present, it could actually make it worse. The best thing you can do for them is increase their water consumption. This can be done by adding water to their food, feeding canned cat food, and adding a pet fountain (cats usually prefer to drink from a running water source). This article talks about a similar problem in cats, but has great advice on how to improve bladder health (like decreasing stress): http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=612

Cantaloupe is not toxic to cats, and should be safe to give in occasional, small amounts. However, I would not recommend giving large quantities of cantaloupe regularly since cats are obligate carnivores and do not require fruit as a part of a balanced diet. Too much cantaloupe could lead to vomiting and/or diarrhea.

In small amounts such as what would be in baby food, its not going to cause a problem. Just be sure you are giving the baby food as a supplemental treat, not as a primary diet source, and keep an eye on her weight as it is rather calorie dense. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

A small amount of lime juice should not cause any problems except potentially a little drooling/ gastrointestinal upset. It is usually the skin and oils from citrus fruit that can cause toxicity. However if you're concerned, you can contact the pet poison helpline at the link below for further guidance. See the link under that for more nformation on lime ingestion. https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants/lime

A small amount of plain oatmeal should not be harmful for Sally, as long as there are no added flavorings. Anything with artificial sweeteners or spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg should be avoided, as they can be toxic to cats.
