Are clams safe for a small 2.5 kg kitten, or is the portion size too risky?

A tiny piece of cooked, plain clam meat is safe for a small kitten, but portion size is critical — think one pea-sized piece as a taste. For a cat this small, even a regular-sized clam can be too much due to the salt content and risk of digestive upset. Avoid tinned clams in brine entirely because of the high sodium. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy over the next day. It's safest to offer just a minimal taste and monitor closely, calling your vet if any concerns arise.
