Based on the principles of scientific feeding, it is not recommended to feed bones to pet cats. Although wild cats may eat some cartilage and fur from their prey along with the meat, this is only a small amount.

Small, hard, and sharp bones can easily block or scratch a cat's gastrointestinal tract, causing serious conditions such as gastrointestinal bleeding. Cats can be fed canned cat food with a high meat content, such as canned food containing chicken breast or fish.
