Werdykt

Currants (Ribes species) are botanically unrelated to grapes, but they're often grouped with grapes and raisins as a precaution, since the mechanism behind grape/raisin toxicity still isn't fully understood and some pet-safety sources extend the same caution to currants. Documented poisoning cases in cats specifically are rare to nonexistent — most of the concern is extrapolated from dog cases and general dried-fruit caution rather than confirmed feline toxicology.

Objawy do obserwowania

  • vomiting
  • diarrhea
  • lethargy (monitor after a large ingestion)

Co zrobić

A small accidental taste is unlikely to be an emergency, but avoid feeding currants intentionally, and keep dried-fruit baked goods (like currant scones or fruitcake) out of reach. Contact a vet if a cat eats a large quantity or shows symptoms.
