Cats love to eat the same food as their owners, and aren’t shy about getting up in your face when they see you eating. For the most part it’s perfectly fine to give them a taste of your food, however there are certain foods which can be outright dangerous to cats. Knowing which foods are safe and which are not is an important part of being a pet owner.

So what about pears? Are pears bad for cats?

No, pears are perfectly safe for cats if given in moderation.

It’s important to keep in mind that cats are actually carnivores, and fruits is not a natural part of their diet. This is why it should only be given to them in moderation. Also, pear seeds contain chemicals which can turn into cyanide during digestion so they should be avoided at all costs.
