No, cats should not eat seasoned tortilla chips. Spices like chili can irritate a cat's digestive system, and the high salt content is also problematic. Even a plain tortilla is only safe in tiny amounts, but added flavors make it risky. If your cat licks a seasoned chip, they might drool, vomit, or have diarrhea. It's best to keep all seasoned snacks well out of reach. If your cat eats a significant amount and shows signs of distress, contact your vet.
