Cats can eat cereal. Oatmeal contains a lot of dietary fiber, which helps cats digest and increase their appetite. However, it cannot be fed as a staple food. Oatmeal has a single nutrition and cannot meet the nutritional needs of cats. You can mix oatmeal with cat food or meat to feed cats to ensure a balanced nutrition for cats.
Precautions for cats eating cereal:
1. Most of the cereals eaten by humans have added sugar. Eating too much sugar may cause cats to suffer from indigestion, diarrhea and other conditions. Therefore, try to choose cereals for cats that do not contain added sugar.
2. Oatmeal has a single nutritional value and cannot be fed as a staple food for a long time. Cats can eat other staple foods such as fish, cat food, etc. while feeding oatmeal.
3. Do not feed cats excessive amounts of oatmeal. Eating too much will irritate the cat’s gastrointestinal tract, causing indigestion and symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting. If your cat develops these adverse symptoms after eating oatmeal, it should be taken to a pet hospital for treatment immediately.
