Green peas are a safe treat for cats. Cats with kidney problems should avoid peas due to their purines content. Purines are a naturally occurring chemical compound which produce uric acid that's filtered through the kidneys. Too much uric acid can lead to kidney stones and other kidney conditions, and cats with pre-existing kidney problems are more prone to developing complications. Pea pods can be a choking hazard for cats, and therefore cats should only be given shelled peas. Cats can eat plain, unseasoned, fresh, cooked, or frozen snow peas, sugar snap peas, and garden or English peas.
