Although the soft and aromatic flesh of the avocado is very healthy for humans, it is toxic to many pets due to the persin content. Birds in particular, but also dogs and cats, suffer serious health problems that can even lead to the death of the animal.
Cats are pure carnivores
In cats, even small amounts of persin, such as ingesting a tiny bite of avocado or licking the fruit, can have serious consequences. In particular, the seed core and the skin of the avocado contain a lot of this toxic substance, whereas the flesh itself contains little. The avocado plant is also highly toxic to cats. Furthermore, cats are pure carnivores and should therefore be fed according to their nature.
tips and tricks
Raw potatoes and raw pork, but also chocolate, cocoa, raisins and onions are poisonous for cats and therefore not suitable food.
