Can I give avocado to cats?

ChatGPT

Don’t give your cat avocado. Avocados contain ingredients that are harmful to cats. Specifically, avocados contain a substance called persin, which can cause toxic symptoms in cats.

The persin in avocados can damage the digestive system and cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and indigestion in cats. Persin can also affect your cat’s heart, so avocados should be excluded from your cat’s diet.

Meat is the main source of nutrients in a cat’s diet, and avocados are inappropriate for cats. It is especially important to provide cats with cat food that is considered safe among human foods. If in doubt, we recommend consulting your veterinarian.
