As it turns out, cats have a unique affinity for sweet treats. While they may not be able to indulge in the same sugary indulgences as humans, their love for candy is undeniable. In fact, many cat owners swear that their feline friends go wild for the taste and smell of certain candies.
But why do cats have such an affinity for candy? While we can't speak directly to our feline friends, experts suggest that their love for sweets may be linked to their natural hunting instincts. You see, in the wild, many small animals rely on sweet-tasting nectar to survive.
