No normal cat will refuse dairy products. Animals drink milk with pleasure and eat sour cream with pleasure.

But it is not always beneficial to the pet's health. In some cases, sour cream can cause health problems.

Experts believe that you can feed your cat sour cream, but you just have to do it carefully.

Among the first to be mentioned is calcium, which is beneficial for bones.

Do no harm!

With all this said, sour cream, especially homemade sour cream, has one problem, which is the fat content of the product.

Even store-bought sour cream with a fat content of 15% is considered harmful to pets.

Therefore, kittens can be given no more than two teaspoons of sour cream per day, and adult cats no more than 70 grams.
