Can cats eat shrimp?

Cats can eat shrimp. Shrimp is rich in various trace elements, including calcium, iron, selenium, zinc and protein, which can provide energy for cats. Try to choose green shrimp when giving it to cats, because it has less salt content and less burden on cats' kidneys. Moreover, it is recommended to feed cooked and decapitated shrimp when feeding, because shrimp heads contain toxins.

Shrimp contains vitamins, trace elements and minerals, especially taurine that cats need. Because cats can't synthesize taurine by themselves, they must add extra food containing taurine every day, which can improve their eyesight.

But some cats are allergic, so the owner should pay attention to the cat's physical condition when feeding. Once the cat has vomiting and diarrhea, the owner should immediately induce vomiting. If the cat is in serious condition, the owner should immediately take the cat to the pet hospital for desensitization treatment. Therefore, feed the cat and shrimp, and feed a small amount for the first time. After feeding, observe whether the cat has allergies or other discomfort, and gradually increase the amount if the cat is not abnormal.
