Dangerous Foods For Your Cat
What is dangerous for your cat? Well, in this article I will show all the things humans eat that are not suitable for cats.
Chocolate
Chocolate is lethal to all cats. The toxic agent in chocolate is theobromine, which is in every chocolate including white chocolate. Theobromine is part of the cacao plant, the tea plant, and the cola nut.
Nuts
Macadamia nuts cause lethargy, vomiting, hypothermia, and tremors in cats. All other nuts, including walnuts, can cause death to cats.
Salty Foods
Salty foods, including chips, pretzels, and popcorn can cause vomiting, seizures, elevated body temperature, and can also cause death.
If your cat has eaten any of these foods and has been acting unusual, take your cat to the vet immediately.
Artichoke
Cats cannot eat artichoke. It is good for us, but not for cats as it is a big risk for them.
Asparagus
You should NOT feed your cat asparagus. If you give your cat too much, they will ingest food with high alkaline content, which can lead to urinary tract blockages.
Acai Berries
Acai berries are toxic to cats because they also have theobromine in them like chocolate.
Blood Orange
The blood orange is like other citrus fruits; not too good for cats. However, if you only let them have a tiny wedge it is fine for them.
Dragon Fruit
Dragon fruit won’t deal your cat any harm, but you should not feed your cat too much of it.
Radishes
It’s very likely your cat will suffer from vomiting, diarrhea, and an upset stomach if you feed it radishes.
Berries
The only berries your cats can eat are blueberries, raspberries, and cranberries.
If you want to feed them to your cats, feed the berries in tiny bite-sized portions in order for them not to choke.
What Your Cat’s Diet Should Be
I am not going to list all the things that your cat should eat, because it is way too much.
So, instead, I am going to list what your cat should eat every day. For breakfast, you should feed your cat kibble. Do not always feed your cat kibble, as it might give your cat a shorter life. For dinner, you should feed your cat lettuce, cucumbers, and chicken. You can also feed your cat canned food. If you feed your cat too much, they will start gaining weight.
Having two meals every day should be good for your cat. You can also feed your cat treats, making sure to change the water bowl every day. Stale water can lead to urinary tract infection.
Is Dairy Good For Cats?
Most cats are lactose intolerant to milk and other dairy products. Some cats really like milk, like my cat. Dairy is not healthy for cats and can cause diarrhea.
Can You Feed Your Cat Fruits?
Your cat can eat fruits. Feline friendly fruits include apples and bananas. Make sure that you feed your cat a fruit that is non-toxic to felines, because if you don’t it can lead to your cat’s death.
That’s it for this post! Stay tuned for more tips on how to take care of your beloved cats and kittens!
