Can Cats Eat Raw Chicken. If you’re asking, “can cats eat raw chicken?” and you’re thinking in terms of a raw food diet, the answer is a little bit different. Cats can eat chicken and rice on occasion and should do so following a gastric episode.
Raw meat and raw fish, like raw eggs, can contain bacteria that cause food poisoning. A lack of thiamine can cause serious neurological problems and lead to convulsions and coma. Aside from the meat of these animals, cats can eat the bones and organs of their prey.
If your cats are aggressive chewers, you should ask your veterinarian about what sort of bones they could eat to avoid chipping or fracturing their teeth.
Just keep it in reserve as a temporary diet choice. Raw chicken is quickly affected by bacteria, but luckily, cats are not much susceptible to salmonella bacteria as humans are. Some cats can be ‘fussy eaters’, which can develop when they are fed the same food (such as raw chicken) over a long period. It’s like chocolate, for them.
