I don't think it would hurt her. See what comes out the other end.

Puss-Puss used to love it. She would just eat a couple spoonfuls of it. Mostly, she cleaned up all the goey, creamy part and left the oatmeal flakes in the bowl. I put brown sugar and evaporated milk on it. She probably just loved the milk taste.

I see no way that oatmeal would hurt a cat. As long as you don't add anything to it that a cat would be allergic too or something, theres not really a problem. My cats eat cereal all the time. I don't exactly feed it to them but they want the milk and will eat some of the cereal too.

The worst I could imagine is if it didn't settle right and your cat coughed it up...
