 | |  | | Feeding your cats sugar often, puts them at risk for diabetes. Since cats are smaller than us, they can't tolerate as much sugar before it becomes unhealthy. Most scientists agree cats cannot even taste "sweet", so there's no point and all risk.
If you're looking for vegetarian treat options for your cat, you can give her a small amount of PLAIN!! yogurt (1/4 tsp for a kitten) or an even smaller amount cottage cheese, or some chopped egg whites, or even unsweetened human baby food. Most cats can't tolerate large amounts of lactose, so try to avoid cream, ice cream or milk. And remember these are treats, so don't overfeed.
Just remember cats are obligate carnivores, so they do need meat, and most cats would never say no to a little bit of plain boiled chicken or canned tuna (in water, not oil). |  |  | |  |

I went to your page and its says that you weigh 40 lbs - as by the looks of you that is not true, but if you keep eating junk it may just happen some day. I really hope that posting was a joke.
