Immediate verdict: Cabbage is not recommended, although a cooked micro-portion may be tolerated. The benefits for cats are low, and the risks of digestive issues are real.
Risks to know
Cabbage contains fibers that often cause digestive issues. Additionally, goitrogenic compounds require caution in cats with thyroid problems. Raw cabbage must be avoided absolutely.
