Water-packed, no-salt sardines are safe occasionally and rich in omega-3. Drain well first.
Short answer
Yes, water-packed sardines are safe for cats occasionally. Make sure they're unsalted and well-drained before offering a small piece. They're rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can benefit your cat's skin and coat. Just don't overdo it — too much fish can lead to nutritional imbalances over time.
