Can cats eat candy? These matters must be paid attention to

Can cats eat candy? Cats cannot eat sugar because their bodies cannot digest sugar, which can affect their insulin levels and may lead to health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Therefore, if you want to provide snacks to your cat, it is best to choose cat food or snacks designed specifically for cats.

And cats have many disadvantages to eating candy, as follows:

1. Because the sugar is sticky, it is easy to remain in the cat's mouth. If the owner does not brush the cat's teeth regularly, it is easy to breed bacteria, which can cause oral diseases such as tooth decay, plaque or tartar, and threaten the cat's oral health.

2. Because sugary foods contain relatively high sugar content, when cats eat a lot of sugar for a long time, it will cause obesity in the cat, resulting in secondary diabetes, heart disease, etc., and in severe cases, it may even lead to kidney failure.

3. Because cats do not have strong ability to digest and absorb sugar, diarrhea may occur when cats consume too much sugar.

4. Because some sugar granules are large, if the cat accidentally swallows it, it may jamm your throat and cause blockage of the esophagus.

The cats themselves do not have much demand for sugar, just eat enough meat, there is no need to feed sugar.
