Cats are allowed to eat a few bread rolls from time to time but are not recommended to feed cereal products. The reason for this is that your cat is actually a pure carnivore and its gastrointestinal tract is not designed for the digestion of carbohydrates but needs a lot of protein. For example, too much grain can lead to digestive problems.
Small bites Rolls, bread, or toast are fine, but it should always be just pure wholemeal bread or normal bread without additives. Chocolate, some fruits or garlic, and other things that have been gladly packed in the bread of the rolls are potentially toxic to your cat. Also, no sandwiches should be fed. Depending on the spread, this is also toxic to your house tiger.
How many rolls or bread can my cat eat?
Since your cat has a high-calorie requirement, if possible, no more than 10% should come from food not developed for cats or from meat. The average cat needs just over 200 calories per day. So you should only feed 20 calories with other foods. In the case of rolls, this limit is already reached with a small amount, as the dough is very carbohydrate-rich.
More than the recommended 10% of the total amount of calories can quickly cause your cat to consume too many calories overall and run the risk of gaining weight and especially fat. this can later lead to diabetes and other diseases. With only occasional feeding with a small bite of a delicious bun, however, you do not have to worry.
Be careful with homemade rolls
With homemade rolls, you should make sure that they are completely baked through and contain as little yeast as possible. The alcohol that can be produced by the yeast is dangerous for your cat even in small quantities. Even more dangerous is the raw dough – and especially raw yeast dough. This dough can expand in your cat's stomach, causing serious health damage. In rare cases, the mass must then be surgically removed by a veterinarian.
Signs that your cat has eaten yeast include typical nausea symptoms such as vomiting, but also diarrhea, and excessive bloating. Contact a veterinarian or pet clinic if you suspect that your cat has eaten such a dough.
Some buns can be toxic to your cat
Make sure your cat isn't a bun with a toxic topping like peanut butter or Nutella. Garlic, onions, or raisins in the bun can also cause digestive problems or symptoms of poisoning. Your cat should not be given these foods to eat, even in smaller quantities.
The conclusion –
even cats are allowed to eat rolls and at least from time to time a piece of bread or a piece of a bun does not hurt. However, although feeding a small amount to a healthy and fit cat is not dangerous, it is also not recommended. Given the high-calorie content due to the many carbohydrate bases, it is better to feed cats with lean protein. Some meat or fish would be offered here.
