Of course, cats can eat chicken, meat, fish, turkey, lamb, etc. All these foods are rich sources of animal protein needed by the cats for their lean muscles and overall growth. But, do not give raw chicken or meat to cats. This is because of two reasons:  First, raw meat and similar foods are more likely to spread bacteria and other infectious germs in cats’ bodies. The second reason is they are difficult to digest and can be the cause of loose stools and vomiting.
