Suggestions

  • It is not recommended to feed popcorn to cats intentionally.
  • If your cat eats a small amount, it is unlikely to cause harm, but avoid giving them buttered or salted popcorn.

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.
