can cats eat sausages

Cats can eat sausage in very small quantities, but it is generally not recommended. Sausages often contain high levels of fat, salt, spices, and preservatives that can be harmful to cats, causing issues like obesity, pancreatitis, dehydration, kidney problems, and toxic reactions, especially if they contain ingredients like garlic or onion. Feeding sausage occasionally and in tiny pieces might be okay if the sausage is low in fat, preservative- free, and fully cooked without casing, but it should never be a regular part of a cat's diet. Special cat-friendly sausages without harmful additives exist but are still just occasional treats. Overall, safer and healthier treats designed specifically for cats are preferred to ensure their health and wellbeing.
