Cats can eat sweets, but it is not recommended to give them sweets frequently. Cats are actually innately incapable of sensing sweetness, so they don’t like sweets like humans. Cats are pure carnivores. Owners should still feed cats mainly cat food and meat, and do not often feed cats human food.
The reasons why it is not recommended to give sweets to cats
1. It can cause oral diseases. Sweet food will remain in the cat’s mouth. If you don’t pay attention to the cat’s oral hygiene, it can easily cause the cat to suffer from oral diseases.
2. It will make cats fat. Cats cannot metabolize sugar, and feeding sweets to cats will cause them to gain weight and increase the risk of diabetes, pancreatitis, and fatty liver disease.
3. It can cause poisoning in cats. Some sweets contain chocolate, which can cause poisoning to cats if they eat it. In severe cases, the cat may die.
