Can Cats EatCream?

Caution

Risks

  • Cats are lactose intolerant, which means they can't properly digest the lactose in cream.
  • This can lead to stomach upset, vomiting, and diarrhea.
  • The high-fat content in cream could also cause pancreatitis if consumed in large amounts.

Suggestions

  • It's best to avoid giving your cat cream.
  • If you do decide to offer it, make sure it's in a very small amount and only occasionally.
  • Monitor your cat for any signs of digestive upset afterward.
Note: even if labeled as safe, any food can potentially cause allergies. When introducing a new food, please feed a small amount and observe your cat for any allergic reactions.
