can I feed my cat mini marshmellos as treats?

Question
That's it.  Every night, when I come home from work, I make hot chocalate.  I put mini marshmellos in it and my cat has grown to love them.  I give him a few marshmellos almost every night.  Do you think it is bad for him?  Thanks.  

Answer
Hi Emad.  There's nothing wrong with feeding your kitty a few marshmallows at night if he likes them.  They are pretty much sugar, cornstarch and gelatin, all safe for cats to eat.  If he's overweight, though, or starts to get that way, I wouldn't give him any.  Because of the high sugar content, he could put on weight.
