Can cats eat raw fish?

Caution · Only rarely, tiny amounts

Only with caution. Raw Fish is not ideal for cats.

Why

Some raw fish contain thiaminase, an enzyme that destroys vitamin B1 (thiamine), and raw fish can carry bacteria and parasites.

How to serve it

Cook fish plainly and remove bones before sharing.

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