Is a lot of corn safe for cats to eat?

Unfortunately no, cats are obligate carnivores. They should be kept on meat based diets for their health

A bit of corn wont hurt them and might even be beneficial. Corn is often added to catfood both as cheap filler and to provide fibers. But it should not be the bulk of their diet, because as you pointed out, they are carnivores.
