A small lick is safe. It is pure sugar — too much causes obesity and tooth issues; never for diabetic pets.
Short answer
A tiny lick of honey is safe for your cat, but only in very small amounts. Honey is essentially sugar, so feeding too much can contribute to weight gain and dental problems. If your cat is diabetic, avoid honey altogether. Watch for any vomiting or diarrhea after giving it, and contact your vet if you notice any unusual signs.
