Are strawberries good for cats?
Cats are obligate carnivores: they must get certain nutrients (taurine, arachidonic acid, preformed vitamin A) from animal tissue, so a complete, balanced cat food should always be the base of the diet. Everything else — including the food on this page — is a bonus: useful for hydration and variety, but never a replacement for complete cat food. Treats and extras are best kept under roughly 10% of daily calories.
No, cats shouldn’t eat strawberry leaves. While they’re not toxic, they can be tough for your cat to digest. Remove any leaves and stems before giving your cat strawberries.
"NOTE: Always check with your veterinarian before giving your cat any new foods, especially “people foods.” What might be OK for one cat might not be good for your cat, depending on multiple factors such as their age, hea" — PetMD
