Can cats eat peaches?

Cats can eat peach pulp in moderation. Peach pulp is rich in calcium, iron, phosphorus and other minerals as well as vitamins and a large amount of water. Use in moderation can supplement nutrition. However, peaches contain a lot of water, and cats who eat them in large quantities will suffer from vomiting, diarrhea, etc. In addition, peaches contain potassium, and eating them in large quantities will put a burden on the cat's kidneys.
