Cats can eat chicory. Endive is a vegetable with very high nutritional value. For cats, it can promote intestinal peristalsis, which is equivalent to the effect of cat grass. Eating chicory can help cats expel indigestible hair from their bodies, because cats often lick their fur and some hair will be swallowed into their stomachs. When cats feel uncomfortable, they will eat some plant-based food to expel the food in their stomachs. It is recommended that cat owners wash the chicory when feeding their cats and feed it in appropriate amounts.

Precautions for feeding chicory to cats:

1. The chicory needs to be cooked and avoid eating raw vegetables directly. Raw vegetables may contain bacteria or parasites, and cats may become infected after eating them. Some cats have weak intestinal functions and may suffer from diarrhea when eating raw vegetables. Therefore, it is recommended to cook them before feeding them to cats.

2. There is no need to add too much seasoning, it should be light. Cats can eat a little salt in moderation, but not too much. Cats do not have sweat glands on their body surface, so the salt in their bodies cannot be eliminated. The salt in cats’ bodies must be excreted through their kidneys. If they eat too salty, it will increase the load on the kidneys and cause Causes kidney failure.

3. Chicory needs to be dried to room temperature before feeding. Cats have poor temperature regulation ability and do not like to eat hot food.

4. Pay attention to the principle of moderation, once or twice a week is enough, and special cat food should be used as the main food.
