Can cats eat Avocado?
Best avoided — fat and choking risk outweigh any benefit.
📋What to know
As with dogs, small amounts of ripe avocado flesh are unlikely to poison a cat, but the fat can upset their stomach and the pit and skin are hazards. There's no reason to offer it.

❓Frequently asked questions
Is guacamole safe for dogs?
No. Guacamole usually contains onion, garlic, and salt, which are far more dangerous to dogs than the avocado itself. Keep it away from pets entirely.
