Can cats eat french fry?

If your cat has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.

Why

The heavy oils and fats in fried foods can trigger pancreatitis, a painful and dangerous inflammation of the pancreas. Additionally, fried items often contain salt, spices, and breading that are difficult for cats to digest and can cause gastrointestinal upset.

Watch out for

battered or breaded coatings
seasonings like garlic or onion powder
