Lotus root contains vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber which can be beneficial in small amounts.
Risks
Cats are obligate carnivores and do not digest plant material well.
Consuming too much lotus root may lead to digestive issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
Additionally, it is important to ensure the lotus root is properly cooked and free from any seasoning or additives that could be harmful to cats.
Suggestions
If you decide to feed your cat lotus root, offer it in very small amounts and observe for any adverse reactions.
It should only be given as an occasional treat and not as a regular part of their diet.
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.
