Yes, a tiny spoonful of plain, unflavored kefir can be offered to a cat. Give only a small amount and make sure it’s not sweetened or flavored. Most cats tolerate the probiotic drink, but some may develop mild stomach upset. Keep an eye for vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in appetite, and contact your veterinarian if any of those occur.
