Can cats eat noodles?

Noodles are not bad for your cat, except on the rare occasion that your cat is allergic to wheat. Noodles may not necessarily meet your cat’s nutritional requirement, but cause no harm. However, instant noodles are unhealthy and should not be given to your furball.

Specific concerns with feeding noodles to cats

Noodles are rich in carbohydrates, but not proteins. They do not meet the nutritional requirements for felines. Felines have a high protein requirement. Cats are physiologically designed to eat meat and cannot break down carbohydrates since they lack enzyme amylase. Therefore, to them, starch food is just a chunk of calories, which could potentially lead to obesity. Instant noodles come with additives like sodium, which are toxic to your cat. Noodles are also made with refined flour, which can lead to an insulin spike.

Healthy measures when feeding your cat noodles

Due to cats’ tiny build, they have no space for empty calories. It is important to regulate the amount of noodles they take and how frequently they take it. It is also advisable to boil noodles in saltless water and serve them to your cat, rather than sharing instant noodles with your furball. Instant noodles have a high concentration of sodium.

Conclusion

Can cats eat noodles? Yes, they can, but it is better not to give them any, at all. To maintain your cat’s optimal health, do not give it a lot of noodles. Noodles carry too a lot of calories that can easily overwhelm your feline’s small body and cause obesity and other health complications.
