Apples are a safe treat for cats, but cats should avoid the peel, core, stem, and seeds, because they can be a choking hazard. The seeds also contain small amounts of cyanide, a toxic substance. Cats can eat bite-size pieces of peeled apples, without the core, seeds, or stem.

Pineapple is a safe treat for cats, but should be limited due to its high amount of natural sugar. Pineapple skin and the core should be removed as they can cause obstructions in your cat's mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract. Canned pineapple and the syrup its canned with should be avoided due to the high content of added sugars. Cats can eat a few bite-size pieces of fresh, frozen, or grilled pineapple, without the skin or core.
