Hey there, I own a cat and I can confirm to you through experience that cats can eat popcorn but in small amounts. Popcorn by itself is not toxic & is considered safe for cats. However, the ingredients in popcorn, such as butter and salt, can pose health risks. If you’re going to give your cat popcorn, make sure the individual kernels aren’t too big to prevent choking or blockage hazards. The safest way to serve a cat popcorn is plain and air popped. Popcorn has low nutritional value for cats and should be just a small treat.

hi brother u could use this useful tips before u feed your catsPlain popcorn only:** Avoid adding butter, salt, seasonings, or other flavorings, as these can upset your cat’s stomach or be unhealthy.

Small quantities only: Popcorn isn’t nutritious for cats and can cause digestive problems if they eat too much. A few kernels as an occasional treat are okay.

Choking hazard: Be cautious with popcorn kernels, especially for young kittens, as they can be a choking hazard.

Hi my friend, you know cats have different dietary needs than humans, and their digestive systems may not handle certain foods well. Popcorn can be a choking hazard for cats, and the added salt, butter, or other toppings commonly found on popcorn can be harmful to their health.

Plain popcorn is not poisonous to cats; however, it can pose a choking risk and lead to other health concerns if it’s prepared with butter and salt.
