Can I give lychees to cats?
ChatGPT
Lychee is one of the foods that should not be given to cats. Lychees may contain ingredients that are harmful to cats. Here are the reasons:
Cyanide in seeds: Lychee seeds contain cyanide (cyanic acid), which is toxic to cats. Cyanide can cause poisoning if ingested into a cat’s body.
Too much sugar: Lychees are rich in natural sugar. Excessive sugar intake can increase the risk of obesity and diabetes, making it an unsuitable food for cats.
Digestive effects: Lychees are high in dietary fiber, which can irritate your cat’s digestive system if consumed in excess, causing indigestion and diarrhea.
Therefore, we recommend that you avoid feeding your cat lychees and provide them with cat food that is safe and suitable for your cat. If you have any questions or concerns about your cat’s diet, it’s best to consult your veterinarian.
