My cat just ate a few raw zucchini sticks, is it safe for her to eat?

Short answer

Yes, zucchini is safe for cats. Both raw and cooked zucchini can be given as long as it’s plain with no seasoning. Cut it into bite‑size pieces to avoid choking. Offer a small amount first and watch for any stomach upset. If your cat vomits, has diarrhea, or seems unwell, give your regular vet a call.
