Short answer
No, you should not feed raw rutabaga with the peel to your cat. The peel is tough and difficult for cats to digest, which can lead to stomach upset or a potential intestinal blockage. For cats, rutabaga should always be peeled, cooked until soft, and cut into very small pieces before offering a tiny amount. Stick to this plain, prepared form and call your own vet if your cat has any digestive issues afterward.
