Hello everyone.
So my cat has been sniffing around my mochi snacks lately, and today she actually tried to grab one off the counter. It made me pause and wonder if mochi is safe for cats at all.
I know the rice part is probably harmless in tiny amounts, but I am worried about the sticky texture causing a choking hazard, especially with how chewy it is.
Some mochi also has sweet fillings like red bean paste or sugar, which cannot be great for her.
Has anyone let their cat try a small bite? Did anything go wrong, or is this something I should avoid entirely?
