People Foods Cats Can Eat - Quality Choice Insurance

You Can Share, Sometimes

Most of your kitty’s diet should be a nutritionally complete cat food, but you can give her a treat from your plate every once in a while. You just need to know how to choose feline-friendly snacks with the nutrients she needs.

Meat

Cats are meat eaters, plain and simple. They have to have protein from meat for a strong heart, good vision, and a healthy reproductive system. Cooked beef, chicken, turkey, and small amounts of lean deli meats are a great way to give them that. Raw or spoiled meat could make your cat sick. If you wouldn’t eat it, don’t give it to your pet.

Grapes and raisins
Onions and garlic
Macadamia nuts
Bread dough
Alcohol

Don’t let curiosity, well, you know. Keep foods not meant for your cat in a place she can’t get to them.
