Top list fruits are good for cats (and also with dogs)
Watermelon
I have received a lot of messages asked about: "Can my cat have a slice of watermelon?". Why not? watermelon contained more than 90% of water, super-duper good at keeping your cats hydrated, besides, watermelon has good vitamins and nutrients such as potassium, vitamin B-6, vitamin C, and vitamin A, which can improve muscle of your cats
You cat will be happier if you removed all the small black-seed inside the watermelon
Oranges
Actually, cats are not real fans of oranges, some cats might love and most are not. Also, oranges might hurt sensitive nose of cats, if your cats love oranges, you will need to make sure remove all seeds, peel, leaves, or stem of oranges, because they contain oils that are poisonous and very dangerous to your cats
But oranges contain a good amount of Vitamin C and also with other nutrients which will improve your cat's immune system and clean toxins from the body
Banana
This is the fruit I recommended for your cats, thanks to potassium in bananas, it's good for heart and kidney
Just the same as raspberries, bananas have high natural sugar and carbohydrates which can cause fatal to your cats if they consume too much. The best ways are you can slice them into small pieces and feed your cats sparingly
Pineapple
A piece pineapple a day will keep the vet away, with vitamins such as folate to zinc, and great an amount of minerals. Pineapple will help your pets has good digestion and immune system
And don't forget pineapple has natural sugar so feed your cats with a small amount, and also remember to remove all the hard skin and the spikes, they might cause choking hazards if your cats consume
Raspberries
Low sugar + lots of fiber + vitamins C. You can't find any great food that this, and also, no dangerous poisonous pit or seed.
But that doesn't mean you can feed your cat freely. In raspberries have xylitol as know as naturally occurring sweetener, if your cats or pets consume too much, it might cause fatal to your feline.
Strawberries
Have you ever tried mixed sliced fresh strawberries with cat food? If not you have to try, Strawberries is extremely good for cats and harm-free, also the nutrients help strengthen the immune system and slow all issues related to aging
`
Apricot
Apricots are the best treats for any breed cats and dogs, thanks to potassium and beta-carotene which help your pets fight against cancer. Make sure your pet doesn't eat the pit which is very dangerous and poisonous
Mangoes
Skin removed mango are a very good treat for your cats, they are fresh, help ease digestive issues and packed with good vitamins against sickness. Just like apricots, remember to remove the middle pit, it contains poisonous amounts of cyanide which will cause death if your pet consumes.
Cranberries
Cranberries have manganese, fiber, and vitamin C. So the next time your pet wants to snack, feed him/her cranberries. Only if they can handle all that tartness! They are perfect for cats or even for dogs .
Apple
Apples are high in fiber and low in fat, making them an ideal snack for overweight or senior pets who may have a slower metabolism. They're also packed with vitamins A and C which are essential for maintaining healthy bones and tissue. Feed your pet apples in moderation and remove the core and seeds first, as they contain cyanide.
