Can Cats Eat Apple?
Apple is okay only in small amounts for cats. Flesh is a fine occasional treat, but remove the seeds (contain cyanide) and the core, a choking hazard.
How to serve apple to cats
Offer only a small amount, and not every day. Introduce it slowly the first time and watch for soft stools, gas, or a change in appetite over the next 24 hours. When in doubt, give less.
The right everyday diet for cats
Cats are obligate carnivores — a complete, balanced cat food should be the core of the diet, with any extras kept small and occasional. Foods like apple are extras, not a substitute for a proper diet.
