Can cats eat sweets?
Cats cannot eat sweets. Cats are naturally insensitive to sweet foods and do not have any special preferences for sweets. Feeding a large amount of sweets will increase the burden on cats’ digestive systems. Some cats will suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort, and in severe cases, vomiting and diarrhea. If a cat eats too much sugar at one time, it will increase the burden on its metabolism and lead to kidney failure. Moreover, cats who consume too much sugar are also prone to obesity, and their dental health will also be affected. In addition, creamy substances can easily cause cats to suffer from pancreatitis, fatty liver and other diseases, and chocolate can also easily cause poisoning in cats.
Precautions for cats’ daily diet:
1. Leftover food will spoil and grow bacteria, causing diarrhea. If there is any leftover food, put it in the refrigerator and wash the tableware. The cat's muzzle should be short and the cutlery should not be too deep.
2. Cats cannot eat foods that make cats sick, such as chocolate, onions, bones, grapes, etc.
3. Unlike humans, cats have almost no secretion of salivary amylase. Only amylase secreted by the pancreas and epithelial cell brush border membrane enzymes can digest carbohydrates such as starch. However, these enzymes are low in content and activity and cannot digest carbohydrates in large quantities.
4. Cats’ urinary system cannot allow too much salt, but as inorganic salts are indispensable in life, it is impossible not to ingest them. Necessary salt is necessary for cats’ life activities.
