CATDOLL : The cat ate a piece of mustard and died

Cats can die from eating a piece of mustard. Mustard is an irritant food that can damage the cat's taste system and gastrointestinal digestive system. Cats' gastrointestinal systems are relatively fragile and have a low tolerance for irritating foods. The irritating ingredients in mustard may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in cats, leading to diarrhea or other digestive problems. If the cat already has health problems or is particularly sensitive to the irritating ingredients in mustard, even a small piece of mustard may become a fatal factor.

This highlights the need for pet owners to understand which foods are safe for their pets and which may pose a risk to their health to avoid similar tragedies.
