While making a chicken dish tonight, one of our cats kept jumping on the counter (I'm guessing because of the smell) and was nosing at the raw chicken in the package. I was cutting the skin off the chicken, and wondered if it's okay to give the cats some small pieces of raw chicken skin to eat?

Raw Chicken Skin?
- Thread starter JennTack

Instead of the skin, which can be fatty, give your cat the raw chicken meat instead. But only if you are 100% sure that the meat has not been enhanced with sodium solutions, flavorings, broth, etc. Supermarket chicken often contains extra stuff which might not be good for cats. The package label should indicate in teeny tiny print if anything has been added to the meat.
If you mean just as an occasional small snack, sure. It wouldn't be appropriate for chicken skin to make up a significant part of their diet though but I don't think that is what you mean.
