Can a cat drink soda

Answer 1

Most cats will not drink any kind of juice. First of all, cats are strictly carnivores, and do not usually like to eat or drink anything but animal products (meat, eggs, dairy).

Moreover, juice is too harsh, acidic, and abrasive for their heightened senses. In particular, cats really, really hate any and all citrus fruit -- lemons, limes, Oranges, grapefruit -- and will physically recoil if you put a cup of Orange Juice up in their face to smell.

There are some odd exceptions. My uncle once had a cat that loved to eat oranges. Just oranges, though, not orange juice. But most cats will not touch fruit and especially fruit juice.

Answer 2

you really shouldn't feed cats human food, the only "human" food i know of that they can eat is real tuna, and raw chicken, dont give them anything hard or hot, because they won't eat it. don't give them anything spicy either. I personally believe that cats cannot drink tea. if you would like to give your cat a food that is usually hard (like cereal for example) you should wet it (with milk for example) but remember if you feed your pet human food don't do it often and make sure you continuously play with your cat, and don't feed it human food often, or overfeed it in general, because your cat can become overweight.

Answer 3

The short answer is no, cats should not eat oranges, though luckily, or maybe instinctively, very few will want to anyway. Cats do not feel the need to eat oranges for a variety of reasons. Cats are meat eaters and do not wish to hunt fruit. In the event a cat likes fruit and wishes to eat an orange, the orange in a tree, has a skin, and is tough to peel.

A cat will not be able to eat an orange on its own, thereby making the orange an unappealing food for the cat to enjoy. A cat may smell orange bits and look interested in your fruit, but eating the fruit is another story. If your cat does enjoy the taste and feel of the orange, you should not offer the orange to your cat and discourage his/her interest.

There are two reasons for not feeding oranges to your cat:

Firstly, the orange contains essential oils which require glucuronyl tranferase to metabolize. We possess this material in our bodies so we are able to metabolize the oil within an orange, but cats do not. Without the ability to properly digest and metabolize the essential oil in the orange, it can build up to toxic levels in cats. Not only that but menthol, which is primarily metabolized in humans through glucuronidationis is three to four times more toxic to a cat than to a rat in clinical trials. Cats simply do not have the ability to breakdown certain ingredients that other mammals can.

Though you may see holistic pet websites advocating that a small amount of any essential oil, and a moderate amount of most oils, will not harm your cat, you should proceed with caution and consult your vet. You really have to ask yourself whether you want to give something to your cat that has no proven health benefits, and the best they can say is that small amounts will probably do them no harm. Essential oils are great for humans, and some cat owners have reason to believe the oil benefits the cat as well, but a properly trained veterinarian will be the person to trust.

The second harmful substances that oranges contain are psoralens. These are from a family of natural compounds known as furocoumarins and can cause symptoms ranging from vomiting and diarrhea to depression and photosensitivity.

As most people will know the main nutritional advantage to eating oranges is that they are very high in Vitamin C, but even this is not enough to warrant giving your cat oranges. Unlike us humans, cats produce Vitamin C in their liver so your kitty does not need any supplement. If your cat is sick, or the vet has recommended a Vitamin C supplement, offer the vitamin through a recommended capsule from your vet, rather than offering an orange.

Answer 4

It would most likely not be good for them.

Answer 5

Yes. Tuna juice is a fine treat for cats.

Several web sites suggest adding tuna-can water into cat-bowl water to encourage cats to drink more water.
