Do cats eat cockroaches?

Some cats will eat cockroaches. Because cats are very curious, they like to catch bugs, bite them and play with them, and they may eat them directly. If a cat is found eating cockroaches, it is best to stop them immediately, because cockroaches carry bacteria and are not clean. Some cockroaches may even eat cockroach medicine, so the cat may get sick after eating cockroaches. If a cat is found to have poisoning or other reactions after eating cockroaches, it needs to be sent to the hospital in time. Go to hospital for treatment.
