Pop tarts...and cats

Everyone knows I love Pop tarts and eat them (almost) daily. My cat has recently taken after my habit. I'm not sure if I should discourage such behavior or not? I don't want to be hypocritical, but I don't know if there's a possible issue with this? Do cats metabolize differently?

My cat ate Pop-Tarts and coffee cake regularly and she died.*

Just don't let him get hold of the Garlic Parmesan Onion PopTarts. Onion and garlic are toxic to cats.0

Chocolate is toxic for cats also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theobromine_poisoning
cats can develop wheat allergies.
Halo- "Protein, not carbohydrates, should comprise the majority of every cat's diet, however, many cats appear to benefit from a small amount of carbohydrates in their diet." " These same grains often lead to blood sugar spikes and hormonal signals that have long-term detrimental effects on metabolism. Many feel the use of excess amounts of refined grains have contributed to the pet obesity epidemic in the United States. "
as for the rest of the pop tart, as with people, moderation is key.

I've always said Poptarts are not fit for human consumption. They should be fine for cats though.0

What's his favorite kind?0

That's what happens when you miss staff meetings.0 -
I recommend only giving him the catnip flavor ones.0

The question is, after your cat starts eating daily poptarts, would your cat have more calories if you needed to consume him in a time of need?!0

He's partial to Brown Sugar Cinnamon, frosted... which is good because if he was on my Red Velvet we'd have real problems.0 -

OOooh, where can I get those? Amazon?0 -
Mine like the s'mores ones, with ice cream of course :laugh:0

Sorry but no, just NO! Pop Tarts should be part of no one's diet, let alone your cats.
You may have no trouble stopping at one but most of us are on MFP because we can't. It's just not fair pushing this in our faces (again!). I've had to lock my cat in the other room thanks to you. If he sees this thread he will start demanding Pop Tarts, giving me that look that says "But Mummy the nice man on the Interwebz says it's okay to eat Pop Tarts in moderation".
You are so mean!!!0 -

Just because you can't control your cat doesn't mean that others can't control theres. IIFYM, why not? You don't have to feed your cat Pop Tarts, you know. You do what works for you and don't get angry at others!0 -

QFT. I was just curious as to if there were any known issues with Pop tart consumption by cats. I can't deny my cats joy, but I don't want to harm them either. I have found nothing online saying they shouldn't consume them.0 -

You talk about other being mean and now you are being mean to us. There is no right or wrong answer, everything is relative to their own experience.0 -
Don't share food with a cat. Cat germs.0

Yeah! Just because a lot of cats can't eat pop tarts doesn't mean that his cat can't. Not every cat body works the same, ya know?!?!0
