Can cats eat blueberries?

Yes, cats can eat blueberries in small amounts. Blueberries are non-toxic and contain antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins that could theoretically be beneficial. Some cats find the texture appealing, while others ignore them. However, since cats are obligate carnivores, they do not get essential nutrients from fruit, and blueberries should only be given as an occasional treat.

⚠️ Important warning: Always give blueberries in small amounts and monitor your cat’s response. Too much can cause digestive upset. In addition, whole berries can be a choking hazard for small cats, so cut them in half if necessary.

If you want to give your cat blueberries, do so in moderation and make sure they are fresh and unsweetened. If in doubt, consult your veterinarian.
