As far as sodium pyrophosphate, I'm not sure...but sodium bicarbonate (a.k.a. Baking Soda) isn't toxic as far as anyone knows. Baking soda is an additive in many cat litter substrates and litterbox deodorizing agents. The only problem I could imagine is the same as the one I experience while using it in the "cat box"---getting the dust from the powder in your mouth and having to drink some water. --- Answer ok for kitty litter, but not correct for giving sodium bicarb as medication. Repeating what in first "discussion" comment. As medication (for acid stomach), small amounts can be helpful. Large amounts can affect salt/potassium, acid/alkaline balance. So, right dose can be helpful, too much is potentially very harmful if giving it orally.

If question was about using as medication, please check with a vet or vet site about amounts ok for your specific cat, and the condition.
