Salmon is a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which can be beneficial for a cat's skin and coat.
Risks
Salmon can contain harmful bacteria like Salmonella, which can cause diarrhea, vomiting, fever, decreased appetite, and lethargy in cats.
There is also a risk of mercury poisoning if consumed in large quantities.
Suggestions
If you decide to feed your cat salmon, ensure it is fully cooked to kill any harmful bacteria.
Start with a small amount and monitor your cat for any adverse reactions.
Avoid feeding salmon too frequently to prevent mercury buildup.
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.
