🐱 Can cats eat this? →Why
Air-popped popcorn with nothing added is a low-calorie snack. The problems are the butter, oil and salt on movie-style popcorn, and un-popped kernels, which can crack teeth or cause choking.
If you do share it
A few pieces of plain, air-popped, fully popped kernels — no butter, oil or salt.
