Is it OK to give cats potato chips?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Cats can eat potato chips, but you should avoid feeding them too many salty snacks such as crisps or chips because this may lead to health problems later. It is best to provide healthy cat treats like dried fish, cooked chicken or cat snacks instead. 26 авг. 2021 г.


Why does my cat eat potato chips?

Cats like potato chips probably because they like the salt on them. Most mammals need salt for proper functioning. The sodium is used for nerve impulses among other things. But while salt is necessary, too much salt is harmful.

Is it normal for cats to like potato chips?

Sure, your cat may love crisps, but they have absolutely no nutritional value for them (or us, really…), and are simply high in salt, fat, and carbohydrates. They may not necessarily hurt them, but they certainly don't need them, and it's not difficult to find them a more appropriate snack.
