Cats should not eat cherries. Cherries contain citrate dodecahydrate and propyl sulfonate, which can cause poisoning symptoms, even leading to shock and death if ingested. If a cat accidentally eats cherries, a large amount of toxins will quickly enter its body, causing symptoms such as dilated pupils, difficulty breathing, and bright red gums. In severe cases, it can even lead to insufficient oxygen in the cat's body, causing shock or death.
If your cat accidentally eats cherries, take it to a veterinary hospital immediately to induce vomiting, administer intravenous fluids to promote blood circulation and metabolism, and use diuretics to help eliminate toxins. Cats are carnivores, so it's best to feed them primarily cat food, as it provides a more complete range of nutrients to meet their daily energy needs.
