Cats can eat yams. Yams are rich in dietary fiber and potassium. Moderate consumption can aid digestion and supplement potassium. But yams also contain a lot of starch, and cats are carnivores and their ability to digest starch is very weak. Therefore, when giving yam to cats, you must pay attention to the dosage and eat as little as possible. In the daily life of cats, cat food should still be the main food, and other foods should be supplemented.

Precautions when cats eat yam:

1. Yams must be cooked before feeding to cats, or made into yam puree, etc., for the convenience of cats.

2. If you feed your cat yam in chunks, pay attention to the size of the yam chunks to avoid getting stuck.

3. Pay attention to the amount of feeding. After feeding, you should observe whether the cat has any abnormalities. Some cats may have allergies, vomiting, and diarrhea. If such a situation occurs, you should take the cat as soon as possible. Go to the pet hospital for a checkup.
