What happens if a cat eats fake/counterfeit cat food?
Fake cat food fails safety standards and is poor quality. It can cause: 1. Indigestion from excess additives/preservatives — vomiting, diarrhea. 2.

What should you do if a cat’s hind leg swells after being stepped on, and will it heal on its own?
Swelling after a light step may be muscle swelling or a sprain, and if the cat can still bear weight it may heal with rest and cold compresses.
