It may be painful for a cat to get stung by a bumble bee, but it is not likely to kill or seriously injure a healthy cat unless he is allergic. Watch for signs of severe swelling, trouble breathing, or lethargy in your cat and get him to a veterinarian immediately if you suspect problems.

A small number of stings would probably not kill a cat, but any animal, including a human, can be killed by a large number of stings. The main danger is that of anaphylactic shock which is an extreme allergic reaction that can cause the mouth, nose or throat to contract, restricting airflow to the lungs, however this is rare but needs to be dealt with fast, as a cat that cannot breathe is not an alive cat for very long.

The acids of the cats stomach will neutralize the venom of a wasp. It is only a hazard if the cat got stung.

They can be. Some butterflies feed on plants which are poisonous to most birds and mammals, and the toxins build up in their systems rendering the butterflies themselves poisonous as well.
