But is your cat\u2019s health fond of peanut butter? Confused! You might be, let\u2019s clear up your confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peanut butter cookies are laced with a lot of fat and sugar. Excessive fat and sugar can make your cat obese and lazy. Apart from that the peanut butter in the cookies is so thick that it might get stuck in your cat\u2019s throat and can chock it to death, so just stop feeding your cat with peanut butter cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s bang on to the next topic, which is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Cats_Have_Peanut_Butter_Treats\"><\/span><strong>Can Cats Have Peanut Butter Treats<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a dog or a cat owner then you must be aware of the role of treats that helps in their better training and grooming as they act as rewards for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first, peanut butter treats are not made for cats. There are options available for dogs but none for cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the manufacturers who make these treats are very specific and if they say that a particular thing is made for dogs then they should only be given to dogs. Do not try these treats for your cat as the consequences can be fatal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The normal peanut butter treats that humans can eat have so many preservatives and so much peanut butter that your cat can get allergies. The allergies can be in the form of itchy skin, ear infections, or even anaphylaxis which is a life-threatening allergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So no more peanut butter-based treats for your cats and if you are still confused to give peanut butter to cats or not then keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Cats_Have_Peanut_Butter_Crackers\"><\/span><strong>Can Cats Have Peanut Butter Crackers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Crackers are big biscuits that your pets can have if it is plain and low on sugar. Just like cookies and treats peanut butter crackers are also not good for your cats. The contents of the crackers along with the peanut butter in them can create gastronomical problems for the cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gastronomical problems include stomach aches, vomiting, gas, and diarrhea. Diarrhea can also be a cause of dehydration in a cat just like humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving ahead to the next which is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Cats_Have_Crunchy_Peanut_Butter\"><\/span><strong>Can Cats Have Crunchy Peanut Butter&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As many of you may know crunchy peanut butter is a variant of peanut. In crunchy peanut butter, you will find actual pieces of peanuts in the butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of your cat eating crunchy peanut butter, just avoid it like other peanut butter. Another reason why you should not give crunchy peanut butter to your cat is that this type of peanut butter contains xylitol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a preservative agent and is highly toxic for animals which means it is also toxic for a cat as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was all the talk on peanut butter-based products. Now next we will tell you that can you feed your cats on diluted peanut butter combos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Different_Peanut_Combinations\"><\/span><strong>Different Peanut Combinations<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Peanut butter goes with a lot of things and comes in many combinations. While most of the combos are safe for us but for cats, they might not be safe. We recommend that before you try any combo, read whatever we have to say in the coming-up sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Cats_Have_Pills_With_Peanut_Butter\"><\/span><strong>Can Cats Have Pills With Peanut Butter<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coating medicine pills with peanut butter is a great way of giving pills to kids and sometimes even adults. The peanut butter makes the pill smell good and the kid or adult takes it easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trick works with dogs as well. You might wonder, what about cats? On that, you can give your cat a peanut butter-coated pill if the pill is for some temporal problem like fever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your cat takes medication daily then coating the pills in peanut butter is not advisable as the amount of peanut butter going into the cat will be a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be even more problematic for you as the medicine will not show its full effect due to the excess of peanut butter. So, as an emergency peanut butter is good but daily not good. Next, let\u2019s look at a very popular combo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Cats_Have_Honey_Peanut_Butter_And_Oats\"><\/span><strong>Can Cats Have Honey Peanut Butter And Oats<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of honey, peanut butter, and oats is a great and wholesome breakfast. Many of us enjoy it a lot. But again, the main question is, can your cat eat it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make things crystal clear, let\u2019s break it down. Honey is a safe thing to give to your cat but in small quantities. After all, honey is also another form of sugar and excess sugar is always bad. Small quantities daily are safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As to oats, your cat can eat oats without any worries. Oats have great nutritional value and next to no side effects or allergy problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the combo of honey and oats is safe provided that honey is in less quantity as compared to oats. We already know how harmful peanut butter can be for your cat, so do not add peanut butter to the combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now some people might tell you JIF peanut butter is safe for your cat. Is it though? Find out next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Cats_Have_Jif_Peanut_Butter\"><\/span><strong>Can Cats Have Jif Peanut Butter<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>JIF peanut butter is an American brand of peanut butter. The company claims that its peanut butter is safe for dogs. It is so as the company does not use the element xylitol, which we know is toxic for animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The catch is that it only does not have xylitol. The rest of the product is pure and thick peanut butter which needless to say is harmful to your cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220526071735im_\/http:\/\/freedomofanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Untitled-design-2-1-1024x469.webp\" alt=\"can cats have jiff peanut butter\" class=\"wp-image-320\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Can Cats Have Jif Peanut Butter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if anyone says JIF peanut butter is safe for cats, tell them otherwise and give them the reason so that if they are feeding it to their own cat, they can stop immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking of peanut butter in recent times peanut butter ice cream has got quite trendy and yet again the question presents itself. It is safe for cats? Let\u2019s find out<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Cats_Have_Peanut_Butter_Icecream\"><\/span><strong>Can Cats Have Peanut Butter Icecream<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even before we get to peanut butter ice cream, let\u2019s look at just ice cream first. Most cat vets say that you should not give ice cream to cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They say so as ice cream is heavy on sugar, preservatives, and salt. The three of these things in excess which are there in ice cream are like slow poison for your cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main problem with this is that cats\u2019 bodies are small and so even small quantities can help build up the concentration of the three so much that it can be fatal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, not only peanut butter ice cream, any kind of ice cream is a big no-no for your cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite everything what will you do if your cat eats peanut butter secretly?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prevention_Is_Better_Than_Cure\"><\/span><strong>Prevention Is Better Than Cure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you are aware of the harmful effects of peanut butter even with different combinations, it is always a good idea to ensure that you leave no stone unturned to save your little kitty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the context of maintaining the good health of your kitty, and saving them, here are some points you want to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quick_Tips\"><\/span>Quick Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First things first, if you by any means get to know that your cat is eating peanut butter from the kitchen then simply relocate the peanut butter somewhere where your cat cannot get to it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do the same with other peanut butter items if you have them. &nbsp;We advise that you stack them up together somewhere. If you doubt that your cat will still find out the location, simply place an item or toy you know your cat is afraid of with them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tell your family members not to give peanut butter or peanut butter items to the cat out of love. Explain to them the harmful side of peanut butter for cats to them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Now if your cat does not take its pills without peanut butter then, try coating the pills in fish oil. Fish is the natural diet of cats. It is in their genes. Your cat will eat pills just like that when coated with fish oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can also consider quitting peanut butter yourself as pets eat whatever the owners eat. For your cat\u2019s health, this is a very small but generous step that you can take.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On a final note, keep the vet\u2019s number at hand. Contact them immediately if your cat suffers from any peanut butter-related problems. We repeat do not try home remedies, contact the vet only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now peanut butter is not the only bad thing for cats, there are a lot more things.
