No, there is no toxic danger; plain boiled noodles are safe for cats. Occasionally a cat may experience mild stomach upset if it eats a large amount, which usually appears within a few hours and resolves within a day. Offer only a small bite and watch for vomiting, loose stools, or loss of appetite. If any gastrointestinal signs persist beyond 24 hours, reach out to your veterinarian.
