www.tomatoesareevil.com/tomatohealth.htmYou've got to read this. Read all of it.
"The tomato, as a member of the Nightshade family, contains a bitter poisonous alkaloid called "Solanine". Solanine is toxic to humans, but it requires a concentrated amount to induce sickness. But for a cat, on the other side, traces of Solanin, like those found in just a 100g of cherry tomatoes, can be fatal!
Scientific and Common Names: Solanum spp Nightshades, Jerusalem cherry, Horse nettle, Buffalo bur. All Fruits small; yellow, red, or black when ripe; like tomatoes; Glycoalkaloid solanine (leaves, shoots, unripe berries).
Symptoms:Acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, weakness, excess salivation, dyspnea (rapid breathing), trembling, progressive paralysis, prostration, death."
