Cats loving fish bones is a myth that we should stop believing in as at the end of the day, we are putting our furry friends in danger if we decide to feed them bones. Yes, although our intentions are good and we are feeding hungry strays, bones are often sharp and will damage their internals.
Recently, a kitty was rushed to the vet after a fishbone got stuck on the roof of its mouth. From the pictures shared by @hudialfarich on Twitter, it can be seen that the cat was in discomfort. Fortunately, the vet managed to remove the bone before further damage could happen to the poor creature.

We can feed strays scraps but please remove any bones. It is painful to imagine the suffering that a cat has to go through if it accidentally swallowed a bone that will obviously damage its internal organs. So, please be more mindful when you want to feed cats, no matter whether it is your own or strays at the restaurant.
