can cats eat green beans

Yes, cats can eat green beans. Green beans are safe and can be a nutritious treat for cats when given in moderation, as they provide fiber, vitamins (such as A, C, K), and minerals like calcium and iron. However, cats are obligate carnivores, so green beans should not replace their regular meat-based diet. It's important to serve green beans plain—without any seasonings like garlic or onions, which are toxic to cats. Treats including green beans should make up no more than about 10% of a cat's diet, and cats may eat them raw or cooked, though cooked green beans are easier to digest and better for cats with dental issues. Always monitor the cat for any digestive upset when introducing new foods.
