People Foods Cats Can Eat
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.
Foods Cats Shouldn’t Eat
- Chocolate
- Grapes and raisins
- Onions and garlic
- Macadamia nuts
- Bread dough
- Alcohol
- Xylitol, an artificial sweetener found in sugar-free gum and candy
Steer clear of these foods when sharing your snacks. They’re toxic to cats:
Don’t let curiosity, well, you know. Keep foods not meant for your cat in a place she can’t get to them.
