A little butter once in awhile is okay. Some people use it as a hairbell remedy.

It\\\’s not particularly good for your cat, what with the fat & salt content (unless it\\\’s not salted butter). There is lactose, but a very small amount compared to milk (unless you\\\’re using a butter that has non-fat milk solids as an ingredient), so it wouldn\\\’t be as likely as milk to induce vomiting or diarrhea. Like catsofmany said, some people use it as a hairball remedy. It coats the ingested hair and allows it smoother passage through the digestive tract. As a general rule of thumb, I wouldn\\\’t allow my cats access to\\\”people\\\” food - period.

Butter has some kind of oil type stuff. oil causes hair fall for cats. a little butter can do no harm, but try not to feed your cat. I\\\’ve never in my life heard of a cat who even tasted butter.
