The flesh is safe, but pits, stems and leaves contain cyanide compounds. Always pit them first.
Short answer
Yes, it's safe for a cat to nibble a bit of cherry flesh if the pits are fully removed, but it should be an occasional treat. The fruit meat contains no known toxins for cats, while the pits, stems and leaves have cyanide compounds that can be dangerous. Give only a small piece and monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of oral irritation. If any of those symptoms develop, contact your veterinarian right away.
