Yes, cats can eat pineapple in small amounts. Pineapple is non-toxic to cats and contains vitamin C, fiber, and bromelain, an enzyme that can aid digestion. Some cats find the sweet smell appealing, but since cats cannot taste sweet, they often have little interest in it. Since cats are obligate carnivores, they do not need fruit in their diet, and pineapple should only be given as an occasional treat.
⚠️ Important warning: Only give your cat small pieces of fresh pineapple without the skin and core. The skin and core are difficult to digest and can cause digestive upset or a choking hazard. Also, avoid canned pineapple, as it often contains added sugars and preservatives that can be harmful to cats.
If you want to give your cat a small piece of pineapple, do so in moderation and see how he reacts. If in doubt, consult your veterinarian. 🍍🐾
