Can Cats Eat Feta Cheese?

As a cat owner, you may have wondered if it is safe to share your love for feta cheese with your feline friend.

While some cats may show interest in feta cheese due to its strong smell, it is generally not recommended to feed them this type of cheese.

Feta cheese is high in fat and sodium, which can be harmful to cats in large quantities. Additionally, dairy products like feta cheese can cause digestive issues such as upset stomachs and diarrhea in cats, as they lack the necessary enzymes to break down lactose.

It is always best to stick to feline-appropriate treats and foods when it comes to your furry companion.
