What is Spaghetti Sauce?

The red sauce that’s usually served on spaghetti noodles is made from tomatoes. Tomatoes, part of the nightshade family, contain healthy vitamins and antioxidants. These include lycopene, vitamin C, potassium, and more.

The sauce also may include other ingredients such as herbs and spices.

But can cats safely eat spaghetti sauce?

Spaghetti Sauce & Cats

Spaghetti sauce made from tomatoes is not safe for cats. If your cat has a small lick of tomato sauce, he will probably not get sick. The amount is too little, and it won’t affect his system.

However, if a cat eats a larger amount of spaghetti sauce, he will become sick. This is because tomatoes are toxic to cats. Tomatoes contain a substance called solanine, which is very bad for cats.

In addition to solanine, spaghetti sauce contains other ingredients that can make cats very sick. These ingredients include onions, garlic, along with other herbs and spices. The main problem is the onion and garlic. These are highly toxic to cats and can destroy red blood cells, leading to a serious type of anemia.

Spaghetti sauce also contains high amounts of sodium, which is also very bad for cats.

Symptoms of Tomato Sauce Toxicity in Cats

You may notice these symptoms if your cat has eaten tomato sauce:

  • Lethargy
  • Weakness
  • Poor muscle coordination
  • Hypersalivation
  • Brown or red urine
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Increased breathing and heart rates
  • Collapse

If you notice any of these symptoms in your cat, then call the vet immediately. This could be a medical emergency.

As you can see, spaghetti sauce is not good for cats. However, if your cat shows symptoms and you get him to the vet as soon as possible, the prognosis is great. He should be back to his normal playful self in no time!
