4. There are many reasons why cats eat fruit. The
simplest explanations that they are hungry and
sometimes fruits are the only food available. This
specially true with pets in the wild such as the bigger
cousins of the domesticated cats like lions and tigers.
The habit of these wild cats have been passed on to
the smaller breeds that we commonly see in the city
and in the neighborhood. So you can say that cats eat
fruits out of hereditary preseason.

6. You should always seek expert advice instead of just
relying on the opinions of friends and other pet
owners even though they are well-meaning. Another
things that you should be aware of is that not all pets
are the same.
Not all of them have the same dietary requirements.
Therefore, you should also be observant. If you think a
certain kind of fruits does not suit well with your cat,
then you should stop giving him that fruit.

7. Avoid grapes
If there is one kind of fruit that you should not give
your cats it is grapes. It is not clear why grapes are
toxic to cats. More studies need to be done.
You should also avoid products that are made from
grapes such as raisins. Grapes can be deadly to cats.
They may not die immediately after consumption
since the effect of grapes is cumulative.

8. This means that the toxins get stored in their bodies
until such a time that their systems will be overloaded.
So you should avoid giving grapes to your cat at all
costs. You should also be careful not to have grapes
lying around where your cat can easily eat them.
Apart from grapes, you should also avoid giving
persimmons to your cats because they can be just as
deadly as grapes.
