Shrimps offer several nutritional benefits to cats and make a great tasty treat.
Risks
Shrimp can be allergenic for some cats, and feeding too many can contribute to weight gain.
Shrimp tails and shells can pose a choking hazard.
Suggestions
Cats can eat cooked shrimp as a treat, but it should not be a regular part of their diet as it does not provide all the necessary nutrients for feline health.
It is important to remove the shell and tail, and ensure that the shrimp is fully cooked and cooled before offering it to your cat.
Limit the serving to half to one shrimp per serving.
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.
