Can cats eat black pepper?

[pp604]

I found this on amazon which i wanted to get: https://a.co/d/95oWIOT. It contains turmeric, black pepper, and coconut.
But i also read that black pepper is toxic for cats? Is that true?

A quick google search says no, which sounds about right. Other spices are bad for cats so why not pepper.

I would be wary of using supplements like this. I doubt pet supplements are well regulated, if at all. Kind of like the hundreds of "fat burner" supplements for people, most of these products exist solely to make money from concerned pet owners.

I would continue researching the product. Ask your vet about it too.

My assumption would be, as a vegan product that it would not be safe for cats who are obligatory carnivores. I would not trust any product or company that advertises vegan products for cats. (despite that some are safe like pumpkin puree for pets would be both vegan and safe).

Stick with a trusted glucosamine suppliment for cats.
