It's perfectly fine to eat. Be careful not to feed too much cooked bone to

the cat, it could potentially cause impaction as it has with my Chihuahua

more than once. Raw bone is less likely to do so. But with all the moisture

removed from the cooked bone, if an animal eats too much or if they have a

tendency toward dehydration, impaction can occur.
