Can I give quince to my cat?

ChatGPT

Quince is one of the foods that should not be given to cats. Quince may contain ingredients that are harmful to cats. Here are the reasons:

Cyanide in seeds: Quince seeds contain cyanide (cyanic acid), which is toxic to cats. Cyanide can cause poisoning if ingested into a cat’s body.

Hardness and Digestive Effects: Quinces are very hard and can be hard on your cat’s teeth. It is also rich in dietary fiber, which if consumed in excess can irritate the digestive system and cause indigestion and diarrhea.

Therefore, we recommend that you avoid feeding your cat quinces 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.
