Expert Answer

Cats can eat celery, but not too much at one time. Celery is high in fiber, which promotes intestinal digestion and has mild laxative and diuretic, heat-clearing effects, so a little celery can help when a cat is constipated or ‘heaty’.

In addition, feeding an appropriate amount of celery can help a cat expel hairballs from its body and prevent hairball syndrome.

Finally, celery contains plenty of vitamins and trace elements that supplement the cat’s nutritional needs and boost immunity. However, do not feed too much celery at once, as it may cause frequent diarrhea, vomiting and similar symptoms.
