Cats can have pears in small amounts as an occasional treat. Pears are safe for cats to eat if the flesh is given without seeds, stems, or skin, which can contain harmful substances like cyanide in the seeds. Pears provide beneficial vitamins, dietary fiber, and minerals, but should be given sparingly due to their high sugar content and fiber, which might cause digestive upset or other issues if consumed in excess. Overall, pears are not necessary in a cat's diet since cats are obligate carnivores and primarily require meat, but a little pear occasionally is safe and may offer some nutrients.
