Can I give lemon to my cat?
ChatGPT
Lemon is one of the foods that should not be given to cats. Lemons contain ingredients that are harmful to cats. Here are the reasons:
Highly acidic: Lemons are a very acidic fruit and can be difficult on your cat’s stomach. Excessive intake can cause digestive problems.
Limonene and Linalool: Lemons contain the compounds limonene and linalool. These are toxic to cats and can cause liver toxicity.
Sugar: Lemons also contain natural sugar, and excess sugar intake can increase your risk of obesity and diabetes.
Risk of indigestion and diarrhea: Lemon can irritate your cat’s stomach and intestines, causing indigestion and diarrhea.
Therefore, we recommend that you avoid giving lemon to your cat and provide cat food that is safe and suitable for your cat. If in doubt, it is best to consult your veterinarian.
