Can cats eat blueberries?

Short Answer

Yes

Safety Summary

✔ Safe: Yes — in small amounts
⚠ Use caution: High sugar; most cats uninterested
✖ Toxic: No

Why

Blueberries are safe for cats and are actually sometimes used as an ingredient in premium cat foods for their antioxidants. As with most fruit, cats lack sweet taste receptors so they're usually indifferent to blueberries. A few as an occasional treat is perfectly fine for cats that are curious. No nutritional necessity to add them though.

Portion Guidance

2–3 blueberries as an occasional treat. Wash first.

Risks & Symptoms

Too many: diarrhea from sugar and fiber
No toxicity
