Yes, but they have no taste buds for sweets. They are really carnivores and should not be fed anything but meat (or fish). Cats are alone among mammals in lacking the sweet gene. Cat food today has around 20 percent carbohydrates. The cats are not used to that, they can't handle it and they should not be fed it.
