can cats eat whipped cream

Cats generally should not eat whipped cream. Most cats are lactose intolerant, meaning they lack the enzymes to properly digest lactose found in dairy, including whipped cream. Eating whipped cream can cause digestive upset such as gas, vomiting, diarrhea, and discomfort in most cats. Additionally, whipped cream often contains sugar and other additives that are not healthy for cats. While a very small taste might not cause serious harm, it is best avoided as a treat due to these risks. Safer treats specifically made for cats or small amounts of appropriate foods are recommended instead.
