A small amount, no she will be fine although she may foam at the mouth some trying to get it out. The flouride in human toothpaste can be very bad for cats but a small amount won't harm her. There are pet toothpastes available as well as tartar control and cleaning treats. If her mouth is in bad shape she may need a dental cleaning from the vet.

If it was real toothpaste that's not good. There is toothpaste for cats but if youve ever read the back of a tube of toothpaste, you're not supposed to swallow. What do u think ur cat did? ya it'll b pretty sick if not dead. Bad choice!

No, just don't give her human toothpaste...lol
Go to a pet store, they make toothpaste for animals that usually have a kitty flavor so that they will like it, also Friskies makes a treat that controls tartor and breath smells. Good luck!

I just wanted to say about a previous answer that paracetamol is toxic for cats, i think that is what they meant, but it wasn't clear. So don't give your cat paracetamol as an antidote or anything by misunderstanding!

If she only swollowed a little bit, she won't die, but she might get sick. She will be okay, but in the future, don't do it again.

She probably didn't like the taste. Go to your local pet store and see if they sell anything for bad kitty breath, if not you could always give her part of a dog biscuit that is suppose to freshen breath.
