Can cats eat chocolate? No.

Cats are not allowed to eat chocolate. The caffeine and theobromine in chocolate are highly toxic to pet cats, and if eaten in excess, can cause the death of the pet. The bad thing about eating chocolate because the main raw material for making chocolate is cocoa beans, the main ingredient in cocoa beans is theobromine, humans can easily metabolize theobromine, and can also enhance the spirit, but cats can not, theobromine will accumulate in the body to poisoning. A small amount of chocolate is fine, it will only make the cat feel sick, vomit or diarrhea. A large amount of chocolate, on the other hand, can cause serious damage to cats, even death. The central nervous system: 1. A small amount of chocolate will make the cat’s cerebral cortex excited, and a large amount of chocolate will cause neurological symptoms such as cramps and shivering, which will lead to coma in severe cases. 2. The cardiovascular system: A small amount of chocolate will cause symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and arrhythmia, which will lead to heart failure and death in severe cases. 3. The theobromine in chocolate will stimulate the gastric mucosa to secrete gastric acid, causing vomiting. If found instantly, the cat should be fasted and fed a lot of water and take cat probiotics. If the situation does not improve, take it to the veterinary hospital immediately. Generally cats will show symptoms 2-4 hours after consuming chocolate products. In severe cases, death will occur within 1-2 days. So for cats, chocolate is highly toxic. I remind, in addition to chocolate, tea and coffee, these foods should not be given to cats, because these things contain caffeine, which can also cause harm to cats. Note the high fat content in chocolate is causing vomiting and diarrhea. Irritability, hyperactivity, muscle twitching, tremors, increased urination and faster breathing may be noticed in cats. Heart rate and blood pressure levels may also increase. Seizures may occur in severe cases. So never let your cat eat chocolate. Keep these out of the cat’s reach.
