Is it ok to feed my cat surimi (cooked artificial crab) as just a once in a while treat? I'm afraid because it's processed she'll get sick or gain weight too much. Plus there's a lot of sugar/salt and chemicals in it from my understanding. But, then again I feed her occasional canned fish which I'm sure isn't that great either. Thanks. Eric

Hi there! It’s not ideal to feed Shadow anything processed as your mentioned but I’m sure it won’t hurt every now and then. A heavier option would be canned sardines in oil. No chemicals and just fish. Hope that helps!!!
