Cats can eat plain tortillas in small amounts and occasionally without immediate harm, but tortillas are not nutritionally beneficial for them and should not replace their main diet. Corn tortillas are generally better than flour tortillas due to lower fat and calorie content, but both contain high carbohydrates and sometimes salt, which cats do not need and have difficulty digesting. Tortilla chips and seasoned tortillas are not recommended because of high salt, fat, and potentially harmful ingredients. Overfeeding tortillas can lead to digestive issues, obesity, and serious health problems like sodium poisoning in cats. It is best to only share small pieces of plain tortillas very rarely, and avoid giving any chips or flavored tortillas to cats.
