Can cats eat walnut kernels?

No, cats of any breed are not allowed to eat nut foods such as walnuts and pecans. The gastrointestinal tract of cat food is relatively fragile. Breeders should try not to feed the cat food other than the usual cat food, meat, pet snacks, etc. This can protect the cat's lifespan and avoid the cat's physical discomfort and food intake.
