Why you should hide the apple pie from your cat
An excess of this treat or any other sweets can harm both your and your cat’s waistlines.
An average 10-pound cat should consume around 180-200 calories daily, influenced by age, lifestyle, and activity.
A slice of apple pie, delicious as it may be, contains 265 calories for a 100-gram serving, making it unsuitable for your pet.
