Can I give quince to my cat?

ChatGPT

Quince (Persimmon) is one of the potentially dangerous foods for cats. Quince may contain ingredients that are harmful to cats.

The main concern is the tannins present in quince seeds. Tannins can affect the digestive system and cause symptoms of indigestion and diarrhea. The amount of tannins also varies depending on the maturity of the quince, and immature quince may contain particularly high amounts.

Therefore, giving quince to cats should be avoided. When it comes to your cat's diet, it's important to provide cat food that is safe and suitable for your cat. We recommend consulting your veterinarian before feeding fruit or other foods. When in doubt, consult your veterinarian to protect your cat's health.
