This is probably a stupid question, but: can cats also be allergic to shellfish? I just got an email from a friend, describing how she fed her six cats canned food consisting of salmon, shrimp, and rice, and two of them reacted with severe vomiting. My husband and brother-in-law react the same way to shrimp or crabmeat. What else should I advise her to avoid? Lobster, crabfish?
