My cat ate some plain wheat bread. Is that safer than plain pasta for cats?

Short answer

Both plain wheat bread and plain pasta are safe for cats in small amounts. They're essentially the same ingredient—cooked wheat—so neither is safer than the other. Just offer it plain, watch for any digestive upset, and call your own vet if anything seems off.
