Verdict: No, dangerous
Salt (sodium chloride) is dangerous for cats, especially in large quantities. Ingesting too much salt can lead to sodium ion poisoning, which can be life-threatening. Cats should not be given salty foods or allowed access to salt sources.
Excessive sodium intake leads to hypernatremia, causing fluid shifts from cells to the bloodstream, resulting in cellular dehydration, particularly in the brain. This disrupts nerve function and can lead to cerebral edema or hemorrhage.
