Those who own cats as pets should avoid feeding them pork, simply because it has the potential to carry a number of parasites, though this type of meat is regulated by the USDA.

Cats also have trouble processing foods like pork, so you should stay away from giving it to them. Raw pork can very well contain parasites that can be harmful to both humans and animals, especially if it is served raw.

The best thing you can do is to play it safe and avoid feeding your cats pork at all, though if you must, make sure it is cooked thoroughly and chopped up into small pieces for easier digestion.
