My 3-year-old indoor cat ate a small piece of peeled kiwi, is it safe for her to eat more?

Short answer

Yes, a small amount of peeled kiwi is safe for cats. The fruit’s flesh is non‑toxic, but the skin is hard to digest, so always remove it and give only thin slices. Offer it plain without any added sugar or seasoning and monitor your cat for any stomach upset. If you notice vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite, give your vet a call.
