Even small amounts of orange can trigger severe reactions in cats. Complete avoidance is the only safe approach. Veterinary sources confirm that orange contains compounds harmful to pets. The essential oils in the peel can irritate your pet's digestive tract. Pets who ingest orange may show symptoms within hours — though delayed reactions can make diagnosis challenging. If you suspect your cat has eaten orange, contact your veterinarian or an emergency pet poison control service immediately.
