CATDOLL : Why can't cats eat salt?

Why can't cats eat salt?

Reasons why cats cannot eat salt:

1. Cats cannot eat foods with high salt content. Foods with high salt content will increase the burden on the cat's kidneys and cause hair loss in cats.

2. If you feed cats too much salt, excessive salt will aggravate the cat's sebaceous gland nutritional imbalance, causing the cat's hair to fall out and cause large-scale hair loss.

3. Cats eat too salty food and cannot excrete the salt. Excess salt remains in the body and can only be excreted through the tongue and eye glands. Over time, eye secretions will accumulate around the cat's eyes, resulting in a lot of eye boogers and heavy tear marks.

Cats’ dietary taboos:

1. Milk. Cats have weak stomachs and intestines, and many cats are lactose intolerant. Drinking milk can easily cause vomiting and diarrhea.

2. Coffee. Coffee also contains theobromine and caffeine. Like chocolate, it can cause poisoning if eaten. Cats should not touch it.

3. Liver and carrots. If cats eat liver for a long time, due to calcium deficiency in the body, it may cause rickets in young cats or osteomalacia in adult cats. In severe cases, it may cause coagulation disorders, leading to acute bleeding and difficulty in stopping bleeding.
