Can cats eat potato chips?

Cats are not allowed to eat French fries. French fries are fried foods and contain a lot of seasonings. Cats are not omnivores but pure carnivores. There is no amylase in cat saliva to decompose and digest them. It is good at breaking down and digesting French fries, and the flavoring in French fries may cause harm to the cat’s organs.

Suggestions on snacks that cats can eat:

1. It is recommended to eat cat snacks, such as freeze-dried, cat strips, canned cats, pet ham sausages and other foods.

2. It is recommended that owners make snacks for cats, such as chicken breast jerky, beef jerky and other foods.

3. It is recommended to feed mainly cat food, and then feed appropriate amounts of snacks in addition to cat food, so as not to affect the cat's nutritional intake.
