Evening everyone!

While I was bringing in the washing, a shield bug hitched a ride and is now hiding somewhere in the house.

Are these insects toxic to cats if they play with them or even end up eating one?

Cheers!

    Hi there, Shield bugs aren't generally toxic to cats. In fact, most insects don't pose any real danger to them. However, if your cat tends to hunt little creepy-crawlies in the garden, you should make sure they’re regularly wormed, as things like flies, worms, and spiders can carry parasites. Have a good day, Marion
