It’s a mild risk, but you should act quickly after your cat eats sausage. First, remove any remaining pieces and offer fresh water to help dilute the salt. Observe your cat for signs such as excessive thirst, vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy over the next hour. If any of these symptoms develop, call your veterinarian for advice.
