Macadamia Nuts

Toxic Nuts & Seeds

Macadamia nuts are considered toxic to pets, though the specific toxicological mechanism remains unidentified. While most documented severe cases involve dogs, cats share enough physiological similarity that veterinary authorities advise treating macadamia nuts as a genuine hazard for cats as well. Keeping these nuts entirely out of a cat's diet is the safest and most defensible course of action.

Clinical note: Unidentified toxin; cats presumed at risk based on dog case data and physiological overlap
