Cats can't eat oranges

1. Do not feed cats oranges. Cats hate the taste of orange peels. The orange pulp also has a certain taste of peels, so oranges are not a favorite food for cats. The owner can try peeling an orange next to the cat. When the cat smells the smell of the orange peel, it will generally squint, back off, and then run away.

2. The essential oils in oranges can irritate the cat's stomach and intestines, causing gastrointestinal discomfort, and in severe cases, leading to vomiting and diarrhea. Once a cat eats citrus fruits, you should pay attention to its physical condition. If the cat has an adverse reaction, take it to the doctor for examination immediately.

In some cases, it has been shown that eating oranges can actually make cats depressed and even cause them to become highly photosensitive.
