Yes, raw celery is safe for cats to eat and can be a fun, low-calorie crunchy treat. It's non-toxic and provides some fiber and moisture. To make it safe and easy to eat, always wash it thoroughly and chop it into very small, manageable pieces to prevent any choking hazard. Most cats will simply sniff and ignore it, but if yours nibbles a bit, that's perfectly fine. Just offer it plain and in moderation, and as with any new food, watch for any rare signs of stomach upset.
