What happens if a cat eats chicken?

Eating chicken does no harm, as cats are carnivores that love meat, but raw chicken may cause bacterial or parasitic infection and gut problems. Also avoid seasoned chicken, which adds metabolic burden and causes eye discharge, shedding, and bad breath.

Young cats with immature guts may get indigestion from chicken; if vomiting or diarrhea appears, take the cat to a vet.
