Benefits
Green beans are high in fiber and contain some protein, which can be beneficial in small amounts.
Risks
Feeding too many green beans can cause digestive distress, including excess gas, intestinal discomfort, or pain.
Cats are obligate carnivores and their digestive systems are not designed to process large amounts of plant material.
Suggestions
Offer green beans in small amounts and only occasionally.
Ensure they are cooked and unseasoned to avoid any additional digestive issues.
Note: even if labeled as safe, any food can potentially cause allergies. When introducing a new food, please feed a small amount and observe your cat for any allergic reactions.
