The truth behind the myth? It’s not a myth. Catsreallycan’t taste sweet things, probably because their bodies don’t need carbs as much as ours do, so there isn’t as much evolutionary reason to reward high-carb foods that taste sweet. As devoted cat parents, we always strive to provide our feline friends with the best experiences possible. And what better way to elevate their mealtime delights than with a sprinkle of pure feline fancy? When we launched Sprinkles Pets in 2020, you might be surprised to know that our mission was [unlike most new pet brands] not inspired by our cat-in-residence, Rhaegar. Whilst he inspired us to build cardboard box forts, buy excessively expensive cat beds and invest in a heated blanket, Rhaegar was in no way fussy and scoffed every bit of food he could see! There may not always be an apparent reason why your cat is going after sweet foods, but it’s universally true that they don’t need sweets.

The same can be said for artificial flavorings, partially because we don’t know what goes into those flavorings and partially because they can often contain a lot of alcohol. This is where the magic comes in! Our food toppers are carefully hydrolysed to maintain optimal nutrition whilst also increasing palatability, improving easy digestion and hypoallergenicity.Absolutely not! Chocolate is toxic to cats, just like it is for dogs. Most of the time, cats aren’t drawn to chocolate foods, but if your cat shows interest in chocolate frosting, you should make sure it’s out of reach and clean empty plates and other containers as soon as possible. While that might be okay as an occasional treat for you, your cats don’t eat as much as you do, and they need high-quality sources of animal protein and critical nutrients like fiber, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Cake doesn’t supply any of those things. Now that we know cats can’t taste sweet, there’s another natural question. Can cats eat sugar, or is it bad for them like other ingredients and artificial sweeteners? Fast forward 12-months and Raindrop was born. A new way of cleaning with affordable plastic free sustainability at its core. Raindrop has been designed to look great and work even better whilst being super simple to use at the same time. We hope you love it.

We’re a small team, in a big industry. We’ve got a new way of doing things, in a traditional market. But we’re on our way, and we’re excited to be here. The last thing I want to touch on is that artificial sweeteners can also be incredibly dangerous for animals, not just cats, because they metabolize those sweeteners differently. It is worth noting that while Cat Sprinkles can be a delightful addition to your cat's diet, it is always important to consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new food items. They can provide guidance on the appropriate quantities and ensure that your cat's nutritional needs are being met. Well, there are a lot of reasons, but it all comes down to your cat’s basic instincts. They do like to eat high-fat foods, even though a lot of extra fat and dairy isn’t really good for them. It’s all about trying to get enough calories to survive in the wild, and domesticated cats don’t realize that their next meal is guaranteed, so they’re willing to go after high-calorie foods even when they don’t need the calories. But, when it comes to cake, that isn’t too hard to accomplish, especially if you bake the cake yourself at home.

Looking after hundreds of cats showed us the impact of fussy-eating and low water drive on both the felines' health and happiness. Turned out it was the same for dogs. So we thought, what if we could solve this? Could this help cats and dogs live longer, eat healthier food, take their medicine happily? Could we cut down on pet food waste at the same time as saving owners money on binned tins? If cats can’t taste sugar or sweetness and don’t need extra carbs in their diets, then why do so many cats try to steal frosting, ice cream, marshmallows, and even cotton candy from their owners?

Other times the food in question might make your cat think of a prey animal or their toys. That may be why some cats love to bat around a marshmallow or two. Taking a bite of those marshmallows is just more playtime fun since play mimics wild hunting for many domesticated cats. The next problem is food coloring, artificial flavors, and other additives. It can be hard to know what food colorings or artificial additives are safe for cats, so we generally don’t want to give cats any of them. Food coloring can contain a large amount of alcohol, which can be harmful in very small quantities for cats. So, while you can give your cats a small amount of frosting or icing on rare occasions, there are some limitations. Since this is a complicated issue, we wanted to go into a little more detail than our usual short answer. Can Cats Eat FrostingThinking about frosting made us wonder if cake is a better option for cats, especially as a treat. Of course, chocolate is still toxic, so no chocolate cakes here, but would a plain white vanilla cake be an option. Most of Angela's coworkers seem indifferent to her many cats, including Sprinkles. Some are even shown to call Sprinkles by the wrong name. However, when Michael is informed that one of Angela's cats has died, he becomes noticeably distraught, and asks if it was Sprinkles that has passed away, demonstrating an uncommon empathy for Angela's feelings at the time. Cake is junk food, whether you’re talking about people or cats. It’s a lot of carbs with some fats, but almost no protein or other nutrients. Remember, just because your cat thinks something smells good doesn’t mean that it will be good for them. Can Cats Eat Sugar Not only do Cat Sprinkles enhance the taste, but they also help reduce food waste. By adding a sprinkle to your cat's food, you can ensure that each bite is savored, eliminating leftovers that may go to waste. This not only benefits your cat's taste buds but also your wallet and the environment.
