Direct answer: onions, garlic and related allium ingredients are unsafe for cats. Keep raw, cooked and powdered forms—including seasoned leftovers—out of reach.
Check mixed foods and powders
Sauces, gravies, baby foods and seasoning blends may contain onion or garlic even when pieces are not visible. Do not offer a taste because the portion looks small.
Prevent access at the source
Clear plates, close bins and store ingredients securely. Keep cats away while preparing meals and clean spills promptly.
Call after suspected exposure
Contact a vet or emergency service promptly with the product, ingredients, amount and time if known. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed.
