Daily Cat Lesson #3: Cats and cherries dont belong in the same bowl
🐾 Daily Cat Lesson #3: Cats and cherries don't belong in the same bowl
"If life is a bowl of cherries, what am I doing in the pits?"
— Erma Bombeck
A tiny taste of cherry flesh isn't generally the concern, but cherry pits, stems and leaves should never be given to cats. The plant contains cyanogenic compounds, and the pits are also a choking and intestinal-blockage hazard.
Besides, cats are obligate carnivores. Your cat may be curious about your fruit, but cherries aren't something they need on the menu.
So admire the cherries. Sniff the cherries. Steal the human's chair while they're eating the cherries.
Just stay out of the pits. 🍒
