Frequent consumption of pork can lead to serious health problems for the animal.

It is possible that your pet will encounter such dangerous illnesses as liver cirrhosis, pancreatitis, and allergies.

Problems with the kidneys and intestines may also arise.

One should not forget about the high risk of becoming overweight.

Why lamb is dangerous for cats

Lamb is also high in fat.

This kind of meat is not very well digested by the cat's body.

Can you give your cat just a little pork or lamb?

Yes, it is acceptable. But the portion should be really very small.

It is also advisable to mix pork/lamb with some lean meat (chopped chicken fillet is ideal).
