Cats can eat potatoes, but potatoes are high in starch, which is difficult for cats to digest, so they should be given them sparingly. Potatoes can be given as a treat to reward cats, but they should not be a staple food, because cats are carnivores and their need for starch is not as high as their need for protein. Eating potatoes long-term can easily lead to malnutrition.
Potatoes are not particularly rich in nutrients and cannot fully meet the nutritional needs of cats. Therefore, it is recommended to feed cat food as the main food and add some other nutritional supplements to the cat food.
