Are plain cooked green beans a safe snack for my cat, and how should I prepare them?

Yes, plain cooked green beans are safe for cats and can be a crunchy, low‑calorie snack. Make sure they are boiled or steamed without any added salt, garlic, or onion, as those ingredients are toxic to cats. Cut the beans into small pieces and start with a few to see how your cat tolerates the extra fiber. If you notice vomiting, diarrhea, or a loss of appetite, stop feeding them and discuss it with your veterinarian.
