People who have cats in their homes have definitely noticed one funny habit.

If your pet eats a small fly, it probably won't do any harm.

But you should still keep an eye on the animal and not allow this to happen. The fact is that risks still exist.

It is important to understand that such an insect is capable of carrying parasites that can ultimately cause serious harm to the cat's health.

Diarrhea, bloating, vomiting and other alarming symptoms may occur. In this case, you should immediately contact a veterinarian.
