Refrain from offering a cat a banana peel. They're not only a choking hazard, but they can also potentially upset a cat's digestive tract if ingested.
Do cats like banana peels?
Even if cats like the flavor, don't give them a whole banana. This fruit contains too much sugar, which can lead to weight gain and digestive issues. The peel has a bitter, rubbery texture and is a choking hazard. Most cats will show little interest in eating banana as they're disinterested in sweet tastes.
Why is my cat licking bananas?
That sounds like pica. Cats can't actually taste sweet things, so maybe it's a texture thing that attracts your cat to fruit. I know some people feed their cats fruit in moderation, but cats are obligate carnivores and the fruit sugar is not good for them. You'll never see a cat hunting bananas in nature.
