Expert Answer

Cats can eat squid, but it is generally not recommended for very young kittens or cats with weak stomachs. Adult cats that eat a little squid occasionally can get extra protein, minerals and trace elements, which enriches their diet and supports their immunity.

Also, squid and other seafood have a strong smell that can stimulate a cat’s appetite, making it a good option for picky eaters. But because of individual differences, some cats are allergic to squid and other seafood, so the first time you offer squid, give only a small amount to test.

Finally, avoid giving cats squid that contains added seasonings or additives, to prevent extra metabolic burden on the cat.
