CATDOLL : Can cats eat fruit?

Cats can eat fruit, but not all fruits. Some fruits are poisonous to cats. Tangerines, oranges, and grapefruits are acidic fruits and are not suitable for cats to eat. Long-term consumption can cause cell necrosis and vomiting in cats. Certain ingredients in grapes can cause cats to vomit repeatedly, and the high potassium content of carambolas can cause acute renal failure in cats. These fruits are not for cats to eat. Before feeding cats fruit, you must do your homework and do not feed cats too much fruit.

Things cats cannot eat:

1. Green onions, onions and leeks. These foods contain an ingredient that can destroy cats' red blood cells, causing anemia, diarrhea, hematuria, vomiting and fever in cats.

2. Chocolate. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, and excessive intake can cause acute poisoning in cats.

3. Avocado. Avocado contains a chemical toxin that is very harmful to cats. It can cause digestive problems, breathing difficulties, and high fever in cats. Ingesting a large amount can cause death in cats.

4. Pickled foods. Salted fish and pickled meat have too high salt content. Cats usually don’t like to drink water, so feeding them can easily lead to sodium poisoning.

5. Xylitol: Xylitol can cause convulsions in cats and lead to liver failure within a day of poisoning.
