Xylitol is a true emergency for dogs — hypoglycaemia within 30 min, liver failure possible. Cats are far less sensitive.
Short answer
For cats, one piece of gum is generally a mild concern. Cats are far less sensitive to xylitol than dogs, but it's still not safe for them to ingest. Watch your cat for vomiting, lethargy, or loss of coordination over the next few hours. If you notice any of these signs, call your veterinarian for advice.
