Yes, a small amount of plain cooked lean beef is safe for cats and can be a nice protein treat. Just ensure it's fully cooked, unseasoned, and has no bones or fat trimmings. Offer only a bite-sized piece to avoid stomach upset. If your cat eats too much or seems unwell afterward, contact your regular veterinarian.
