Do you know that bread dough and alcohol can be toxic to cats? These are two people foods that can affect the nervous system of felines, leading to disorientation.

Bread dough has yeast that can break down sugar and produce alcohol when ingested. Once the alcohol is absorbed into the cat’s bloodstream, sufficient levels can cause intoxication, and the cat may behave like a drunken person, and may appear disoriented. He may wander aimlessly around the house and often has no idea what he is doing or where he is. However, some cats are lucky enough to regurgitate the ingested dough. In extreme cases, the dough may expand in the stomach, causing the cat’s abdomen to swell.

Cats are also very sensitive to alcohol. Consumption of adequate amounts can result in disorientation and lethargy. There are also cases where cats die after consuming alcoholic beverages.

Cats that seem to be disoriented should be brought to your Arlington, FL veterinarian immediately. Visit this website for more pet care information.
