Cats can eat sugar, but it's not recommended to give them sugar. Cats don't have taste buds that can detect sweetness, and their unique body structure allows them to convert ingested protein into carbohydrates for energy, so they don't need to obtain carbohydrates separately.
Furthermore, excessive sugar intake can lead to obesity in cats, negatively impact their health, increase the burden on their hearts, and even easily trigger diabetes. Therefore, sugary foods should be avoided as much as possible for cats.
