can cats eat mayo

Cats can eat mayonnaise in small amounts without immediate toxicity, but it is not recommended to feed it to them regularly. Mayo has no nutritional benefits for cats and contains ingredients like oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and sometimes seasonings or preservatives that can upset their stomach, cause vomiting, or lead to other digestive issues. Additionally, the high fat and calorie content may contribute to obesity and related health problems if consumed frequently. Occasional small licks might be okay, but it’s best to avoid giving mayo as part of a cat’s diet for their overall health and well- being.
