* Mayo is high in fat: Cats have a delicate digestive system and a high-fat diet can cause pancreatitis, which is a serious and painful condition.
* Mayo contains onions and garlic: These are toxic to cats and can cause anemia and other health issues. Even small amounts can be dangerous.
* Mayo is not nutritionally balanced for cats: Cats require specific nutrients that are not found in mayo. Feeding them a diet that is not balanced can lead to health problems.
What you can feed your cat instead:
* Cooked chicken (plain, no seasoning): Chicken is a good source of protein for cats, but it should be cooked thoroughly and without any added seasonings or spices.
* Commercial cat food: This is the best way to ensure your cat gets all the nutrients they need. Choose a high-quality brand and follow the feeding guidelines on the package.
Always consult with your veterinarian before introducing new foods to your cat's diet. They can advise on safe and healthy options for your feline friend.
