Can cats eat potatoes and chips?
Cats cannot eat potato chips. Cats are pure carnivores and do not have a high demand for whole grains such as potatoes. At the same time, there is no amylase in cats’ saliva to break down and digest them. French fries are the finished product of fried potatoes. They also contain a large amount of food additives. Cats cannot eat them. They may cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and indigestion. In severe cases, they may be allergic to food additives. Shock and death occur.
What to do if a cat accidentally eats potato chips:
1. If you eat less, fast for 2 hours first. You need to observe whether the cat has vomiting or diarrhea. If the cat has no abnormal symptoms, you don’t need to worry too much, just give it enough drinking water.
2. If the cat eats a lot and the cat has vomiting, diarrhea, etc., it is recommended to feed an appropriate amount of drinking water and an appropriate amount of probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal environment.
3. If you still vomit, you should go to the pet hospital as soon as possible.
