Fruit 22

Grapes Dangerous A few can injure the kidneys, and there is no known safe amount.
Raisins Dangerous Concentrated grapes — dangerous in even smaller amounts. Watch breads and cereals.
Avocado Avoid Low toxicity for cats, but fatty, the pit is a hazard and guacamole contains onion/garlic.
Strawberry A little One berry without the leaves is fine — cats can't taste sweetness anyway.
Watermelon A little Seedless flesh, a cube or two — it's mostly water.
Banana A little A thin slice or two — too sugary for diabetic cats.
Apple A little A thin slice without seeds or core — never the seeds.
Blueberry A little A few berries are fine — no need to add them as an 'antioxidant' treat.
Mandarin & orange Avoid Mildly toxic at most, but peel oils and acid upset the stomach — most cats hate the smell anyway.
Lemon, lime & grapefruit Avoid Strong acid and oils irritate the gut — watch lemon-scented cleaners and diffusers too.
Pear A little A thin slice without seeds or core — mostly water and sugar.
Peach A little A slice of peeled flesh at most — the pit is both toxic and an obstruction risk.
Cherry Avoid Pits, stems and leaves contain cyanide compounds — not worth the effort for the flesh.
Mango A little A slice of flesh without skin or pit — it's sugary.
Kiwi A little A small peeled piece. The kiwi vine is a cousin of silvervine, which many cats love.
Melon A little A cube or two without seeds or rind — quite a few cats love the smell.
Pineapple A little A small piece of fresh fruit — not canned in syrup.
Persimmon A little A seedless slice of flesh — dried persimmon is too sugary.
Korean melon A little Seeds out, a piece or two — mostly water like melon.
Fig Avoid Fig sap (ficin, psoralens) irritates the mouth and skin.
Coconut & coconut oil A little Less than half a teaspoon of oil; skip coconut water, which is high in potassium.
Cranberry A little A few fresh berries are fine — urinary benefits aren't proven in cats.
