Cats cannot eat ginger. Ginger is an irritating food. Once ginger is eaten, the irritation of ginger can directly degrade the cat's sense of smell, and can also cause the cat to have symptoms such as diarrhea or loss of appetite. In severe cases, hemolytic anemia can occur, causing shock or even death.

How to remedy a cat that accidentally eats ginger:

1. First of all, treatment should be based on clinical response. If the cat’s gums will begin to turn white and fatigue will occur, If you have symptoms such as loose skin, you should seek medical treatment immediately.

2. Observe the cat’s urine. If there is blood in the urine, you can use soapy water and dilute hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting in the cat to reduce the symptoms of poisoning. After inducing vomiting, go to the doctor.

3. If you have ginger at home, try to hide the ginger somewhere where cats can’t find it to avoid accidental eating.

4. Cats cannot digest ginger. If there are no abnormal symptoms after eating ginger by mistake, you can feed the cat some water to dilute the irritation of ginger and send the cat to a doctor for treatment as soon as possible.
