can cats have mayo

Cats should not be given mayonnaise. Although mayonnaise is not toxic to cats, it offers no nutritional benefits and can cause digestive upset such as vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain due to its ingredients like oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and sometimes added salt or preservatives. Additionally, mayonnaise is very high in calories and fat, which can contribute to obesity and related health problems in cats. If a cat accidentally eats a small amount, it is unlikely to cause severe harm, but it should be avoided as part of their diet for optimal health.
