Soft-shell turtles are a good source of nutrients for cats, including animal glue, keratin, copper, vitamin D, and other nutrients. These nutrients can help to enhance the cat's disease resistance, regulate the cat's endocrine system, prevent liver cancer and gastric cancer, improve anemia, and lower cholesterol levels.

However, the shell of soft-shell turtles is relatively hard, making it difficult for cats to eat. Therefore, it is recommended to feed cats cooked and chopped soft-shell turtle meat. The feeding amount should not exceed 10% of the cat's total daily intake.
