@Squidfish Napelynn cat dies due to solanine ingestion. uhh doi tomatoes are all kinds of lethal to cats, how could you have not know? it's common knowledge.
The short answer is, “Not recommended.” According to ASPCA, tomatoes have something called solanine which is not only toxic to cats, it’s also harmful to horses and dogs.
If the stems and leaves are ingested, they are at risk of stomach issues, lethargy, slower heart rate and more.
That being said, ASPCA points out that the ripe fruit is safe. Some commercial brands of pet food put tomato paste in their ingredients, but because paste is usually made from ripe tomatoes and with a small quantity, this shouldn’t be cause for concern.
Yes. Solanine is an alkaloid produces by some plants in the potato family (Solanaceae). This family includes both edible(tomato, potato, eggplant, peppers, etc...) and poisonous plants. This alkaloid is harmful to people as well. For example, this is a reason why you should not eat the green parts of potatoes that were left under the sun for a prolonged period of time.

I think, I have heard that dogs shouldn't eat onions and cats should not eat salty food as well.
