Hairy crabs are high in fat, and eating them will cause them to gain weight and affect their health.
Cats can eat steamed hairy crabs, but the owner must help them pick out the crab meat and crab roe to feed them. The cat will not peel the shells themselves. Just bite a crab to the cat, which will damage the cat's mouth and stomach. Don’t feed too much crab meat. If the cat has vomiting, diarrhea, etc., stop feeding immediately.
The stomach and intestines of cats are very fragile and cannot digest the nutrients in crabs well, which will increase the burden on the cat's kidneys. In severe cases, it may even cause the cat to die, so don't feed too much. It is best to use cat food as the staple food to avoid cats being picky about food.
