Ham for cats?

What I've heard, and I go with it because it makes sense, is it's not so good because of how salty most ham is. I don't think the occasional bite will hurt, but I wouldn't give it to him regularly. I give my cats bits of may that we eat, but I try to avoid anything that very salty. Maybe you could try something else for a treat, cooked chicken, sliced deli turkey, etc. Something with less salt.
