Cats can eat red dates. Red dates are very rich in protein, vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients. Eating red dates to cats can supplement some nutrients needed by the cat’s body, and can provide energy and blood. . But pay attention to the amount of food you feed, and don’t feed your cat too much to avoid burdening the cat’s gastrointestinal tract.

Precautions for cats eating red dates

1. When feeding cats, it is recommended to steam the dates and remove the jujube core before feeding them to cats. Raw dates contain a large amount of plant cellulose. If the cat eats a large amount, it will increase the burden on the cat's gastrointestinal tract, so it is best to steam them before feeding them. After the dried red jujube skin is chewed up by the cat and eaten, it may stick to the throat, causing throat discomfort, and the cat cannot digest the jujube core, which will cause intestinal obstruction. The most important thing is that the jujube core is sharp and will scratch the cat's esophagus if not picked out.

2. Feeding a small amount of red dates can supplement the cat’s vitamins, but feeding too much may affect the cat’s digestion. Some cats’ intestinal tracts are relatively fragile. If a cat eats a large amount of dates, it may cause indigestion symptoms, such as vomiting and diarrhea. It is recommended to try feeding a small amount first, and then add an appropriate amount to the cat if there are no abnormalities.
