Cats can eat shrimp. Shrimp contains vitamins, trace elements and minerals, especially taurine, which cats need. However, it is best to clean and cook it before giving it to the cat in small amounts. Do not eat too much. Eating too much can easily cause diarrhea, indigestion and other symptoms in cats. In addition, cats with high cholesterol are not recommended to eat it.
In addition, it is not recommended to feed shrimp to young cats. The digestive function of young cats is relatively weak, and feeding shrimp may cause diarrhea in young cats.
Things to note when cats eat shrimp:
1. The head of the shrimp must be removed. The shrimp heads are too hard, and cats can easily scratch their intestines if they eat them.

3. The shrimp shells should be broken into small pieces so that they are easy to eat and are good for cats, especially female cats.
4. It can supplement calcium. Be careful not to let it eat too quickly and easily get stuck in the throat.
