Many cat owners believe that their pets are quite capable of eating food from their owner's table.

However, this approach is fundamentally wrong, because many products from the human diet are dangerous for our four-legged friends.

Sweets can also harm a cat's health.

The thing is that the tongues of our four-legged friends are “equipped” with a small number of receptors, which is why cats have a poor sense of taste.

As a result, pets lose control when it comes to foods containing fast carbohydrates.

Eating foods that contain large amounts of sugar can lead to the development of diabetes.

In addition, in some desserts in the line "Ingredients" you can find such an ingredient as xylitol. This component provokes the release of insulin in cats and a sharp decrease in glucose levels.

Such processes occurring in the animal’s body can lead to the pet falling into a comatose state.
