can cats eat cheez its

Cats can eat Cheez-Its occasionally without getting poisoned, as the crackers are not toxic to them, but it is generally not recommended. Cheez-Its have very little nutritional value for cats, are high in carbohydrates, fats, and salt, and contain cheese, which has lactose that many cats may have difficulty digesting due to lactose intolerance. Feeding cats Cheez-Its regularly could cause digestive upset, lead to obesity, and cause them to turn down their proper cat food, resulting in nutritional deficiencies. A small piece or one or two Cheez-Its occasionally might not harm a cat, but it is safer and healthier to avoid feeding these snacks and instead offer treats made specifically for cats or small pieces of cooked meat like chicken breast.
