Can cats eat cheese?

Caution · Only rarely, tiny amounts

Only with caution. Cheese is not ideal for cats.

Why

Cheese has less lactose than milk, but it is high in fat and salt. A pea-sized nibble is usually fine for most cats; larger amounts may cause tummy trouble.

How to serve it

Keep it as a rare, tiny treat, or use it to hide a pill.

Always check with your vet if your cat has health conditions, and see the ASPCA list of people foods to avoid.
