Firstly, if you haven’t already – take it away! Assess the amount of coffee your cat has consumed. Contact your vet immediately if you’re uncertain about the quantity or anxious regarding any prevailing physical symptoms or erratic behavior. Early intervention is the most reliable way to prevent harm from poisoning. There are also local poison control centers to assist available in each country.

If your cat has only lapped up a little coffee and they appear to be in the clear and free from risk, monitor your little one’s status over the next six to twelve hours. Make sure there is ample clean water available and do your best to make them comfortable. Don’t let your stress lead you to disturb your pet, creating anxiety in a sensory stimulated kitty.
