Cats are very cute, and there are many people who raise them. For some friends who love cats, as long as they like to eat, they will be given uncontrollably food. But in fact, there are many foods that cats cannot eat! Recently, some friends asked me whether cats can eat walnuts. Let me talk about it in detail below.
Cats cannot eat walnuts. The reasons are as follows:
1. Nut foods such as walnuts have potential toxins on cats, which may cause cats to be poisoned, so nuts such as pecans and mawaiian nuts cannot be eaten by cats.
2. The fat content of walnuts is relatively high, which will increase the metabolic burden of cats and lead to obesity in cats. Moreover, walnut kernels are rich in oil and some trace elements, which are not good for cats' internal organs, especially the liver, and are prone to fatty liver.
3. If you are a younger cat, eating walnuts will easily cause jamming your throat, esophagus or digestive tract, and in severe cases it may even lead to suffocation. Therefore, the owner must be careful not to give walnuts to kittens who eat faster.
In addition, if a cat accidentally eats walnuts, it is necessary to observe whether the cat has some clinical symptoms, such as depression, lack of appetite, cough, vomiting, etc. If so, you need to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination in time and let the doctor handle it according to the cat's condition.
