Can cats eat Broccoli?
Quick Answer:
Plain, steamed broccoli is safe for cats in very small amounts.
Why it matters:
Broccoli is non-toxic to cats and can provide roughage, which some cats crave (similar to cat grass). It must be steamed to make it easier to digest, as raw broccoli can cause stomach upset.
What to check on the label:
- •Raw, hard stalks (choking hazard)
- •Added butter or cheese sauces
Symptoms to watch for:
- •Gas or stomach upset if fed in large amounts
When to contact a veterinarian:
Veterinary attention is rarely needed unless the cat chokes on a large piece.
