Can cats eat onions?

If your cat has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.

Why

Toxic to cats. Alliums damage feline red blood cells, and cats are more sensitive than dogs. Alliums like onions damage a cat's red blood cells, leading to anemia. Cats are much more sensitive to these toxins than dogs, so even small amounts can be harmful.
