Is mango good for cats?
Cats are obligate carnivores: they must get certain nutrients (taurine, arachidonic acid, preformed vitamin A) from animal tissue, so a complete, balanced cat food should always be the base of the diet. Everything else — including the food on this page — is a bonus: useful for hydration and variety, but never a replacement for complete cat food. Treats and extras are best kept under roughly 10% of daily calories.
A small cube of fresh mango flesh is cat-safe and vitamin-rich; skip the pit and skin, and avoid dried or syrupy versions.
"Ripe mango flesh is non-toxic in tiny amounts; the pit is a choking hazard." — PetMD
