Can cats get stuck eating fish?

Cats can get stuck on the spines when eating fish. Generally cats will use the barbs on their own tongues to lick the fish off when eating fish, but sometimes the spines can get stuck in the cat’s throat. When preparing fish for your cat, you should try to choose fish with few fish jams and large spines. If it is a fish with small spines like river fish, then it is best to cook it for a longer time to soften and cook the spines to prevent your cat from getting stuck and to facilitate digestion.
