My adult male cat loves to eat sweetcorn. Is there any harm in giving him some ?

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Cats can eat corn in small quantities and occasionally. Make sure that he doesn't get to eat the silk part of the corn as it can cause blockage of his intestines. As long as most of his diet consists of a well-balanced cat food, a small amount of corn every now and then is OK and will not harm him. I hope this is helpful!
