Can I give plums to cats?
ChatGPT
Plums are one of the potentially dangerous foods for cats. Plums contain ingredients that are harmful to cats and should be avoided.
The main concerns are:
Cyanide Seeds: Plum fruits contain cyanide (cyanic acid). Cyanide is extremely toxic to cats and can cause poisoning. Plum seeds, in particular, contain high concentrations of cyanide.
High sugar content: Plums are high in natural sugar, and excessive sugar intake can increase your risk of obesity and diabetes.
Gastrointestinal effects: Plum pulp itself can be a digestive irritant, causing indigestion and diarrhea.
Therefore, we recommend that you avoid feeding your cat plums and instead provide cat food that is safe and suitable for cats. If you have any questions or concerns about your cat’s diet, it’s best to consult your veterinarian.
