🐶 Can dogs eat this? →Why
Cats are more resistant to persin than birds, so a small taste of flesh is usually tolerated. However, the fat can upset a cat's stomach and the pit is a choking hazard, so there's little reason to offer it.
If you do share it
If at all, a very small amount of plain flesh only — never the pit, skin, or seasoned guacamole.
