    Cats should not eat cherries. Although cherries themselves are not harmful to cats, because they contain large amounts of fructose and sugar, eating too much may cause diarrhea, vomiting, or other digestive problems in cats.


    In addition, the pits in cherries may also be dangerous to cats, because the pits contain cyanide substances, which are released when digested and may cause harm to cats' health.


    Therefore, to ensure the health and safety of your cat, it is best not to feed them cherries as pet food. If your cat accidentally eats cherries or other human food, seek medical attention or consult a veterinarian immediately.
