Nutritious goodness
While cats are obligate carnivores that need to eat plenty of meat to survive, a small amount of veggies every now and then can add some nutrients and variation to your cat’s diet. Green peas are a great source of protein and fiber, yet barely contain any calories. This makes them a great option for cats whose weight needs a little monitoring. Did you know that you can even feed your cat green peas as a treat? Most cats absolutely love the taste and texture of these little green orbs.
Vitamins and minerals
Green peas contain a host of different nutrients, including potassium, zinc, manganese, calcium, magnesium, and iron. The veggies are also rich in vitamins C, B6, and D. Thanks to all these nutrients, green peas are great for your cat’s overall health. Just a small amount of the green veggie can help your cat with an upset stomach.
Where is the love for black eyed peas?
While green peas are super nutritious for your cat, not all peas are. Black eyed peas, for example, are high in sodium and could therefore upset your cat’s tummy. So, better stick to green peas, and feed your feline plenty of meat-based food to keep them happy and healthy.
