My cat ate 2 caramels, with a bit of tin wrapping, and I keep seeing mixed reviews on their toxicity. Should I make him throw up?

Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Pudge. Typically caramels are not toxic if they don't contain xylitol. At most, it may cause some stomach upset, but usually there isn't an issue. As for the tin wrapping, that tends to pass without problem. I do not think in this case you need to induce vomiting. I would just keep an eye on him for now. I hope this helps!
