    That’s a good point, it does depend on the cat, and responsible owners know what’s normal for their cat. In general though, cats can tell when something is toxic to them. If they’re eating small amounts of something toxic, it’s a potential sign of health issues.

      Cats absolutely do not just inherently know when something is toxic to them. They just don’t, this is 100% false. It’s up to the owner to keep that sort of thing away from them

        Believe it or not, but cats have instincts and learned experiences that help them avoid toxic things, similar to how we know when meat and dairy are spoiled. Every cat is different and these instincts can vary or be tricked, but they know to avoid several toxic plants.
