Tomatoes

Caution Fruits

Ripe tomato flesh is only mildly toxic to cats and small incidental amounts are unlikely to cause serious harm. However, green tomatoes, unripe fruit, leaves, stems, and roots contain solanine and tomatine — alkaloids that can genuinely sicken a cat. Most owners should treat tomatoes as a food to avoid rather than offer intentionally.

Clinical note: Solanine/tomatine toxicity — green plant parts pose higher risk than ripe flesh
