Can cats eat salmon (cooked)?

OK to give

Cooked salmon is a good treat — smoked salmon is too salty.

How much

Up to per day 10g about 2 pieces · 1 thumb-tip piece ≈ 5 g

4 kg adult cat, treats ≤10% of ~200 kcal/day

PreparationCooked, deboned, unseasoned.

Why

Protein with omega-3. Cook it to avoid parasites; smoked salmon is salt-cured. It's fattier, so stick to the portion.
