can cats have cilantro

Cats can have cilantro as it is non-toxic and safe for them to consume in small amounts. However, cilantro is not necessary for a cat's diet because cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they primarily need meat for their nutrition. While small amounts of cilantro will not harm cats and might even give them some antioxidants and fiber, large quantities can cause gastrointestinal upset like diarrhea or gas. It is best to offer only small amounts and observe how the cat reacts. If a cat shows signs of digestive problems or allergies, cilantro should be avoided. Always consult a vet before introducing any new food to a cat's diet, especially if the cat has health issues or is on medication.
