You might have wondered if cats can eat onions or if they would want to, and although cats are less inclined to scavenge than dogs, they can find some human foods irresistible. Cats are unlikely to eat raw onion voluntarily. But cooked onions fried with butter, onion gravy, and tasty food seasoned with onion powder may be particularly enticing to your cat.<\/p>\n

Onion is often a hidden ingredient in many recipes. It can even be found in some baby food. So, before you intentionally feed human food to your cat, check the ingredients. That way, you can make sure it does not contain anything harmful. However, it can be particularly frustrating if your cat has snatched food without your say-so. If you aren\u2019t sure if any of the foods were harmful, call your veterinarian, who will be able to help.<\/p>\n

If your cat has eaten onion or food with onion added to it, here\u2019s what to do.<\/p>\n
