Short answer

Yes, a few fresh raspberries are safe for your cat after a good wash. Raspberries aren’t toxic to cats, but feed them plain and whole — no sugar, no jam, no stems. Watch for loose stools or mild vomiting after the first taste. If your cat seems fine, an occasional bite is harmless; call your own vet if anything seems off.
