Cats can eat a small amount of oyster; oysters are rich in protein and minerals, and moderate feeding benefits the cat’s health. But oysters must be steamed first to avoid bacteria and parasites in raw oysters harming the cat’s gut.
Also, due to individual differences, a few cats may be allergic to seafood, so the first time give only a small amount and observe. If allergy signs appear, go to the vet. Finally, if the cat has a poor gut or is very young with immature intestines, oysters are hard to digest, so they are not recommended.
