Dangerous Foods Your Cat Should Never Eat
HTML-код

- In this video, we will talk about 14 human foods that are toxic to cats.
Chocolate
Chocolate is a delicious treat for humans, but it is toxic to cats because it contains a substance called theobromine. Humans break down and metabolize theobromine easily, but cats don't.
Milk, Cheese, and Dairy Products
Although some adult cats may still produce some lactase enzyme, most felines are lactose intolerant, meaning that cow milk and dairy products such as like cheese or cream can upset their stomachs. They may experience anything from mild to severe gastrointestinal discomfort - diarrhea, loose stools, vomiting, stomach pain, or gas.
Salt
Most human food contains too much salt, and salt isn’t recommended for cats.
Eating too much salt can lead to a condition known as salt poisoning. It causes water deprivation in pets and leads to symptoms like vomiting, fever, diarrhea, excessive thirst, and tremors. In severe cases, it may even cause death.
Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits contain essential oils and citric acid that can cause problems in cats.
Cats can also experience skin irritation if their skin comes into contact with citrus fruits. And even simply inhaling citrus essential oils, or any other essential oil, can cause problem to cats.
Raw or undercooked meat, eggs and fish
Raw fish, raw eggs and raw meat can contain bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli that can be harmful to pets. Cooking to a safe temperature kills off those harmful bacteria as well as any possible viruses.
Bones
Cooked bones are a serious danger to felines because they can splinter and get stuck in a cat's throat or stomach.
Avocados
Avocados contain a toxic substance called persin, which is perfectly safe for human, but can cause serious health problems - even death - in many animals.
Grapes and Raisins
Cats should never eat grapes and raisins. These fruits are known to be extremely toxic to cats. Grape toxicity in cats can cause serious kidney damage that can lead to sudden kidney failure, which can be fatal.
Hotdogs
Your feline friend would probably love to chow down on a hotdog. But is that a good idea? Many hotdogs contain ingredients that are not good for cats, such as sugars, artificial sweeteners, and unhealthy saturated fats that they cannot process. Hotdogs also contain seasonings, such as onion powder and garlic, which are toxic to cats. And the biggest problem with hotdogs is salt.
In fact, all processed meats are unsafe for your feline. These products contain a significant amount of salt, fat, chemical preservatives, and added spices which are bad for your cat's stomach
Tuna
Most cats love tuna to a fault. Tuna is very tasty, perhaps much tastier than your cat’s kibble. However, cats can become addicted to tuna. Some felines, when given tuna on a regular basis, will start turning up their nose at their regular cat food, hoping you will give more tuna instead.
Macadamia Nuts
Macadamia nuts are very toxic to cats. These nuts are often found in baked goods, cakes, cookies, muffins, and even trail mix. Make sure to keep these foods away from your pet.
Caffeine
Any beverage that contains a hint of caffeine is a big no-no for your cat.
Caffeine over-stimulates a cat’s nervous system. It causes their heart rate to increase to a dangerous level, and their blood pressure skyrocket.
Alcohol
Alcohol exists in many products we wouldn’t realize, such as mouth wash, perfume, cleaning products, and hand sanitizers. Make sure to keep them out of reach. Even the smallest amount of alcohol, such as found in cough syrups, medications, and raw bread dough, are poisonous to cats.
Raw Yeast Dough
If you’ve ever made bread from scratch, then you know that dough has to rise. When a cat eats bread dough, the yeast in that dough can expand in your cat’s belly and cause a lot of pain and bloating. This can cause a cat’s stomach to twist, which can turn into a medical emergency. There is also a risk of alcohol poisoning since yeast produces alcohol during the fermenting process. Make sure raw dough is out of your feline’s reach at all times.

I give my cat sweet stuff that has dairy but only a little. But my cat never drinks milk only water
My cat eats eggs and nothing happened
Partly bullshit, the dose makes the poison. We had sn cat which sometimes eats the following: garlic, chili, chocolate. She lived 25 years and was healthy until she died (was hit by an car)
@@midnightkitty8172 is your mom
I am a Butcher and my cat lives on raw meat.
18 and a half years old and still going strong.
And she loves a glass of warm milk on a cold winters morning.
You don't see too many cats in the wild taking the bones out of there mice and cooking them well to kill the mouse germs.
Yeah! My cat eats a raw diet too, that's the best for them.
Me2 barf whit my cats and dog.
My cat grew up with milk shes 6 yo now and has no illness
I've always fed my cats raw Kangaroo meat and beef, and they all lived to around 20yrs of age, but I agree that milk/dairy is not good.
@@dethvyper3136 what does kangaroo taste like? Is it only for kitty's or do peeps eat it too?!? Sorry the weirdest thing I've eaten that was kinda weird was squirrel gravy in West Virginia one time, and dear meatballs. They were pretty good. I didn't know the gravy had squirrel in it til I was done. But the deer I knew about! 🤣
My cats have been drinking milk and eating cheese and tuna all their lives. They turn 17 next year. Not so dangerous I guess...
... 17 in cat ears ?!
@@nobodykid7527 ... 17 in human ears !!
Lactose free milk for cat
I think its considered dangerous because the average adult cat is lactose intolerant
17 years? Cats only have 9hearts I'm over here thinking that my cat would die soon because she's supose turn 9years old next month.
My cat loves milk and drinks twice or twice a day, it been ages since cats are drinking milk, I have not seen/heard any cats die of drinking milk, but we only feed diluted milk.
Raw meats are perfectly fine, just try and get free range so it doesn't have antibiotics and hormones. Feeding my cat raw minced beef saved him from death once and he regularly gets raw chicken as a treat. My kitten as well. Milk is fine in small amounts but it's best not to give it to kittens just in case it upsets their delicate digestive system. Fish is alright in small amounts but it's safer to stay away from it because some cats can be allergic to it. This includes fish flavoring. Also definitely keep away from potatoes for both cats and dogs.
My cat is not eating raw food. I have her once an uncooked chicken she just smells it and goes away as if Like not interested.
Do not feed them raw meat from your grocery store. Make sure to get them from sources like Darwin's Pets where they monitor the raw meat for things like salmonella
And btw, This video means ALOT to me. I am writing a book about owning cats, and you have NO idea how much this helped me! I cannot thank you enough.
I wouldn’t use this info as gospel. A lot of it he has gotten wrong. Check out paws of prey and Jackson galaxy, they have way more accurate information
Your books gonna suck
My 15 yo Calico will and does eat any velveta or American cheese balls till I cut her off. She's a little scrawny and the Vet said to feed her whatever she will eat. She (Rose) adopted us when she almost still a kitten, but when I seen her belly bulging, I decided we need to help this girl. She gave us 4 beautiful kittens!
I've been raising cats my entire life and have never had a problem with most of these.
same
What r the things that ur cats r ok w eating (im getting a cat soon so i wanna know)
Waiting for him to say don't let your cat take a bong RIP or something. Lol
Many hotdogs contain ingredients that are not good for humans either!
True
Most foods contain unhealthy ingredients.
They make me sick, I prefer sausages
Eat vegetarian ones. They literally taste the same with no a**holes.
@@TheBLGL Even after 18 years, I still have a difficult time eating veggie dogs because they remind me so much of the real thing! 🤣🤣!
Both my cats have always drank milk. Had them since they were kittens. There both 19yrs old. And in good health🤷
The lactose intolerant stuff is weird- The same logic can be applied to an other mammal including humans. I've know some cats to have loose stools when they consumed milk but the caveat is they were sick or in poor health.
Same, but I gave them lactose free milk. It's still dairy but without lactose
I have one who loves yogurt, but otherwise if I have a cat who wants milk I'll give them a little goat's milk.
My vet said he gives his cats milk and I could give my rescues kittens milk… they don’t like it!
goat milk is good for cat
I have one adult and 6 semi wild/half friendly outside cats that I feed. When I started feeding the mother she was ferrel. Today she is my friend. Her babies will come around too one day. They get high dollar dry cat food and wet cat food together. Occasionally, I buy them a can of pink salmon and they love that. I will bake salmon and feed em that and they even get air fried chicken and shrimp 🤣🤣🤷🏼♀️ they are literally wild but have a heater in the winter time and will turn their nose up to cheap cat food
I have fed my cat cheese before, but a tiny piece. I let her drink milk and never gained weight. I let her lick out my Vanilla Ice Cream bowl when I was done, no symptoms. She is 17 yrs old though.
... 17 in cat ears ?!
@@nobodykid7527 Ya mean years? No. 17 years old since born
my vet has told me to to use unflavored yogurt a dairy product when giving my cat liquid medicine so milk is not really that bad as long as it is not overdone.
Yes, my own cat loved low-sugar yogurt, but as you say, only to be given in limited amounts.
That's a one off use,not to be used on a regular basis.
You are sort of right, I have 3 maine coons and they really love milk during my breakfast. However, I just give them a tiny bit of milk, then dont give them anything until the day after.
They do not have any health issues tho, so I guess they still got have their enzyms to break galactose/lactose.
@@forsensmotd6795 u don’t feed them at all until next day or u mean u don’t give them any treats until the next day
Macadamia nuts can kill your cat without chocolate?
You can't change your cats diet all the time though
Every animal needs time to adjust to a different diet or kibble
I buy a new bag preferably before hes done the bag
So if its a new kind i buy i mix some old and new together increasing the new amount until the old is gone this way it doesn't upset their bellies
I think my cat has almost ate all of em . But after i saw this video i rushed to the vet crying like numb😂 . the vet did a full body checkup my vet said it is one of the most healthiest cat the vet ever seen.....
Same 😂
I was zesting lemons a few weeks ago and the cat was staring at me. "Don't I get some?" I kept saying no, but he kept begging. Finally I held it out so he could sniff it. He recoiled in horror, swatted at it, and glared at me like "how DARE you stick that foul substance in face!"
P
Just try and tell my cat she can’t have ham. I limit it to just a little bit every other week. Yes she cries every time I open the fridge
I had one cat who was soooooo bonkers for mandarin oranges that you buy in a can or the little fruit cups. She would almost attack me when she'd see me eating them. I never knew they were toxic, and she'd regularly get some of my mandarins cuz I use to crave them when I was pregnant with my 1st child. They never bothered her tummy, and she was never gassy. But I guess every kitty is different. Maybe she had some kind of disorder or lack of a certain vitamin, but I've never seen another cat in all my life act that way towards that kind of orange. She never bothered regular fresh oranges. Just the mandarins! Well all I know is she lived a good long life, and that I miss her all the time. We had so many good times together. May you rest in kitty heaven my Jackie Chan! You were one of a kind!!!! I shall always have a special spot for you in my heart!!
Hello Peachy how are you doing today
My old cat loved to drink coffee, eat cheese, whipped cream and butter, raw fish, and hunt and eat rodents and birds. It became 23 years old and had very good health all the way until the end.
in deed bulshit , he was not taking about a real cat , but his wifes kitty.
Did the same to my cat and he is still healthy after drink coffee,butter and raw fish for 21 years
23??
@@Golden_Walls it is possible
@@Golden_Walls Look up on some of the oldest cats.
My cat once ate a bit of chocolate biscuit. He's healthy and my parents say he's the healthiest cat they've ever seen
10:22 I feed my cat the same food for 3/4 years and he had kidney failure.
So we had to leave him at the vet for 3 days. And since he doesn't have insurance, it cost 3000$
I've heard that hard food or kibble can b the reason for kidney failure for cats later on in their lives. I try my best To keep mines with a meat diet incliding since they are carnivores. and technical would eat only meat if they didn't have us. but I hope your fur baby is doing well
@@jacquelineartis4315 not raw meat,they are not wild cats!Cats should be fed a dry diet which has been designed by a vet',there's plenty from which to choose,&always ensure that they have access to fresh water.Please,I used to work in this field.
@@helenbenjafield7351 but literally that's wat they eat wen they hunt birds squirrels fish frogs ect. They have the digestive system for it. I've seen people feed their cats strictly a raw meat diet and they're perfectly fine and healthy with very pretty coats. But to each is own I guess
@@jacquelineartis4315 Yes.. Mine are completely indoors but are well raw fed since they were kittens (as I have rescued them). Now all eat raw and have no issues.
Actually, it is poison for them, but animals aren't stupid as people expect them as. Cats, either all animals know what they can eat and what isn't good for them. So if you ever acidentally give bad food to your cat, don't be too stressed. But anyway, always make sure to check if there's bad food for them cause some of cats aren't able to sniff so they couldn't know if it is bad or not.
My vet suggests to add a pinch of salt & pinch of turmeric powder to the cats food while cooking. He told every living beings needs salt for maintenance of blood pressure and proper functioning of kidneys. He told even plants need nacl. I've been giving the food as prescription and till today she is healthy. Now she is 11 months old.
I also feed my cat salt added chicken and fish.
My late cat loved a bit of raw meat whenever I used to cut for supper and loved cheese and yogurt. She lived for 15yrs and died prematurely due to an accident 😔. Chelsea was ginger and white. 🥰
... 15 in cat ears ?!
My cats like a bit of variety, so I give them 2 different kinds of canned food, supplemented with a can of sardines every 2 weeks or so.
I also give them a little splash of milk every now and then, and have had no adverse effects that I can see at all.
Snacks are 'Pure Bites' - freeze dried raw chicken breast.
So I’m sorry for not responding so Oh my
@Sunkmanitu tanka ob waci You are right about the salt, thanks for telling me; I just checked the package.
What I thought was, they're packed in water, fresh water, but it turns out that they add salt during the packing process.
😾
I AM SO GLAD I DIDN’T SHARE MY HOTDOG WITH MY CAT!! Thank you for spreading this awareness…❤❤
it's just false information
some of them especially
@@kuiper._. well this is scientific information
I didn’t know these facts. I have been doing them for a very long time and now I won’t. Glad I saw your video!
Remember everyone, all cats are different and some are more sensitive than others… just like many other things in life💕✨
Thats so true
And don't take chances with a cat,especially when you don't have a scientific background.
I ALWAYS check before I give my cat something. Asparagus is listed as safe, so I give no more than 2 small tip pieces to mine. They love it!
my cats eat most steamed veggies, but I do put a little butter on it. I feel the fiber is good for them, and they love all the veggies and avocado.
@@ooohlaa13 No! Dont give your cat Avocados!!! watch the videoat 5:33 min
@@MaiMai-zl1yw thank you ... I don't know what to think I know several other cats and dogs that eat avos in Hawaii where they fall from the trees. Well its worth a precaution I love my 3 dearly and they all eat them. I think because I am vegan they see me eating them nearly daily and ... well they then want it. Don't really know what to think ultimately because there is so much unproved info out there. Thanx again!
I learned about the raisins from TVTropes' page on _Garfield,_ under "Accidentally Accurate Writing", regarding Garfield getting rid of the raisins from the raisin toast--neither Jonathan Q. Arbuckle in-universe nor Jim Davis out-of-universe knew that cats can't have raisins.
I gave my cat a slight avocado and he ate the whole thing 🤔
Great video. I did not know about a few of these. Thank you.
Hello Sandrea how are you doing today
A polite comment! Amazing!
Our kittens are in love in three things the most: cucumbers, potatoes and champignons.
At 3:14 the doctor is smiling when they said
"It leads to high blood pressure"
Lmao
A lot of work went into this video, but I fed my cat many of these foods and she lived to 18 years.
You were very lucky.If you ever have another cat,then now know how to behave in a responsible manner.
@@helenbenjafield7351 uh dude acuallty? most of the stuff they cant eat sure. but raw meat u can feed to your cat and even galaxyson who raised and people hired him to take care of their cats. he tells u to feed them raw meat cause its good for them
@@helenbenjafield7351 heck theres even a facebook group that shows people how to feed your cats and dogs raw meat so no this video lied about that part
Thanks for letting us know you're an irresponsible pet owner who got lucky your cat didn't have major health issues as a result of your negligence
@@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441 I used to work in a vet' investigation centre&we saw the outcome of poor advice.Raw meat is too high in vitamin A &causes cancer,there is also a very strong risk of salmonella poisoning.Another reason for not giving cats a wet diet is that bacteria accumulates on the teeth&invades the blood stream which can cause disease of the vital organs;cats should be given a dry vet' designed diet,such as James Wellbeloved.
I think it's all highly dependant on the cat. Just like some people are lactose intolerant and others aren't the same is seen in cats. My cat used to have fancy cheeses with my Dad everyday (we cleared it with the vet) and my cat had no issues.
He would steal brownies from us too and it never bothered him. His favorite treat was actually raw spicy Italian hot peppers. He had an iron stomach (lived to be 20).
Fun fact: Did you know people who aren't lactose intolerant, actually have a mutated gene that allows them to eat and drink dairy? I just found that out a while back, and it's something our ancient ancestors passed on to us! So basically we are all supposed to lay off the dairy! That would suck cuz I love dairy products, but they don't always love me back. Lmao!
But you don't want to gamble either. Most things mentioned are maybe OK for some cats but only in limited amounts.
Same, il give my cat a little bit of cheddar or mozzerella when she begs for it and ive seen no problems what so ever
@@TheLitehart1 Yea, that's fair but lactose free cheese and only a little bit of it as a treat is all good.
When I brought my cat to a vet, he asked me about how I feed my cat - and when he learned the answer, he told me to keep doing the same, because cats don't like changes.
At this point, no-salt-added solid white albacore tuna is only slightly more $$ than my premium canned cat food. The only thing that concerns me is the mercury.
I give my cats canned sardines in oil they love it
If Tuna is so bad for Cats, how come it’s the number one ingredient in most Tinned Cat Food ( look on your supermarket shelves and on some of those shelves in specialty Pet Warehouse shops. At least three quarters if not two thirds of the tinned Cat Food on those shelves have Tuna in them. Either as the only protein ingredient or in combination with other protein ingredients....... Yes Tuna meant for human consumption isn’t good for your cat but Tuna that’s packaged for Cats is OK for your cat because as in most Cat Food you buy there’s added vitamins and minerals ect. One of the most important one being Taurine............. In this post there was one food that didn’t make to this list but should’ve. And that is Raw Chicken. Raw Chicken has salmonella and other bacteria that could not only make your Cat sick but could potentially kill your Cat due to food poisoning. Why? Because domestic felines have evolved from their once wild ancestors. Certain bugs and bacteria that their ancestors could tolerate and be immune to, our modern domestic felines, increasingly, aren’t immune to. In large part due to formulated diets but in very small measure simply due to the imperative to evolve to survive......... ⚛️☮️🌏
Details are important. Pay attention. He said tuna is good for them, but they can become addicted to eating only tuna, and tuna by itself, does not contain all the nutrients that a cat needs. The products you speak of, all contain tuna, which is good for the cat, but those products also contain many nutrients that tuna alone does not. So, as he said. Be careful not to get your cat addicted to eating just tuna.
Lol
You just made a Wikipedia page.

And you need to continue saying it,people are so stupid,they try to give them an unhealthy human diet.

Thanks, this was truly awesome... Love what you do!
I have outdoor cats and it's very active in hunting raws food like mice and other small lives which i cannot control much. I'm trying my best to control them. It worries me but she definitely an active and healthy cat. Btw, thanks for other precautions as i never know salt & milk not good for them. I saw in one of articles that adding salt into emergency glucose recipe for heat stroke cats. I'm bit confused because it's also vet recipes.

My cat is incredibly weird in that she absolutely loves mandarins. I'll have to take care to keep her well out of reach from such things from now on, no matter how cutely she begs for them.

You mentioned that providing different cat brands can cause problems as well as feeding one brand every day. What is the harm in providing different brands? My cat always stopped eating a brand when the bag (small) was half gone. I ran out of different brands to offer him so I started offering different brands for each meal and it worked.

No one can, coz its bullshit. I guess
Because the diet should not only consist of canned food. You don't eat only chips, do you? They also have a healthy and varied diet. Including cooked meat and fish dishes, fruits and so on
@@user-om6xo4xg3kcats don’t need any fruits or veggies. They’re obligate carnivores which means they can get everything they need out of meat.

Dry cat food I give her only during emergency time. Emergency time is the hour while I'm sleeping. That time when she meow I will wake up and give her ready made food.
I wonder why, but my 4 yo black-european cat has a tendancy of stealing peppers before coocking, not to eat, but to play with it (otherwise he never steal any food), so I have to hide my peppers before cutting. Only peppers, it's an obsession for him, he doesn't show any interrest in other vegetables. 😂
In term of food, it is impossible to give him twice in a raw the same thing, I have to change everytime, so malnutrition is not going to happen, he is healthy, very muscular, and spend a lot of time playing / jumping / running (much more than any other cat I got before)
Fun fact: he born in a millitary casern
I only do not understand raw meat being part of this list ,
My cat eats a lot of mice ,and a bird once in a while, I know that because he brings them home every time ,
I also know that is normal and part of a good diet for a feline , they are after all carnivorous , so…..I do understand the raw meat .
Francisco Corbacho: It's the toxins like salmonella and other infectious microbes that raw meat MAY contain, not the meat itself. I don't take chances. I cook her food.

My cat loves milk, cheese and all dairy products and he never ever had a problem with them, however he doesn't eat a lot of it just a medium amount, also who in the world is stupid enough to try and feed their cat alcohol?
Me too
Remember. Just because your cat can eat some of the things on here and be fine doesn't mean they should be allowed to eat it, it's still unhealthy for them I'd argue, just like how humans can drink sodas and be fine but they are not healthy and should be avoided.
Agree
I don't understand number 1 about feeding cats the same food. Usually whenever I need to change my cats diet I do it slowly over the next seven days. I mix the new food with the old so that they won't have any stomach issues or loose stools. Plus if the vet tells you to keep your cat on a certain food for the rest of their life, does that mean the vet is wrong?
There are different nureriants in different types of food, all equally important. You need to get the food specific for kittens when they are kittens, a senior cat gets the food that is specific for seniors. I have a indoor only kitten with a GI illness. So I mixing the kitten and indoor formula and the kitten and stomach and digestive aid formula. When she becomes an adult she will just get the tummy and indoor formula foods. My vet didn't recommend this to me. It has helped my cat though as she has out lived what the vet told me she'd live. My vet is now telling other cat owners to do this. I also alternate brands and flavor. We alternate between the Friskies seafood blend, Purina poultry and Iams grill mix for the kitten and indoor formulas. The food for her stomach is Blue Buffalo or Science Diet.
It has become almost impossible to stay on a cat food consistently with the shortages of most canned cat food in my local supermarket and l cannot travel to check other stores.
i have concern that it would get taken off the market or be unavailable so I give them a variety, plus whatever is on sale comes into play.
@@ooohlaa13 I've started switching my cats brands now. I make sure that it's still high quality. I've started feeding them wet food once daily along with their hard food. It use to be given twice a month as a treat but now I know they need to have some kind of meat in their diet daily. I'm learning
@@theresiasingleton7055 me too ... I used to work in a Chinese Medicine veterinary School and they felt the dry food was the reason for so much kidney disease, they need moisture.
Milk? Cheese? Fish? Eggs? I've raised three generations of cats - they are in such a great condition
1.chocolate
2.milk
3.salt
4.citrus fruit (orangejuice, lemon)
5.raw meat, fish, egg (because they can get salmonella)
6.bones (splinter bone can stuck)
7.avocado
8.grapes and raisins
9.hotdogs
10.tuna
11.macadamia nuts
12.caffeine
13.alcohol
14.raw yeast dough
15.feeding your cat the same food
we feed my cat tuna, milk
Boiled eggs should be ok
Stray cat eating out of a dumpster "hold my beer" lol
thanks a LOT for caring SO MUCH about cats and to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and/or probably will SOMEWHAT like cats
My mom Always feeds raw meats to my cats, i always wondering why one of them had a skin tumor and fur falling in her neck
Cats are evolved to eat raw meat (small mammals, birds, insects etc.) and not much else. It won't harm a cat as long as the meat is fresh. Look at all the fruit and vegetables that can cause a cat problems. Cats are anti-vegans.
The primary table scraps my cats get is Romaine lettuce. No idea why they like it, but they beg for it everytime.
Our cats love chocolate and butter, and a couple actually love coffee. However, we always give it to them in small portions. Thankfully, they've always been healthy.
Caffeine might be really bad for them. I dk for sure but it may affect them as they age
Stop giving them chocolate
Thanks for showing us this video a cat came in our house in 2021 and he came by the window and when it was afternoon my brother gave the cat cow's milk and when night comes he started vomiting.
My cat always tries to eat avacodo when I have it. I never knew this. I even have to hide the peels!
mine eat it every day and love it for past 2 years, 2 cats 10 years of age. and their 11 year old mom.
I treat my cats the same way I treated my son when he was younger. If he didn't want what was for dinner, no problem. He can eat at breakfast. Same with cats. You don't want to eat the food tonight because it's different? No problem. I'll feed you again in the morning. They are much less fussy about what you feed them when they are real hungry.
sounds indifferent and cruel to me ... they can't go to the supermarket, they are in our care, why make them uncomfortable?
@@ooohlaa13 My cats are not at all uncomfortable. They just adjust to a new food if I need to change it. I take them to the vet once a year and pay whatever I have to pay to keep them healthy,. I take them to the groomer every 8 weeks. I am very loving to my cats and they love me back. Don't make assumptions on very little information.
That's ridiculous and bad parenting.
If a child doesn't like what is served you can make them a sandwich. ..as they grow older they will experiment more with taste. Maybe you need to take a cooking class..maybe your cooking is just not tasty.
Parents like you **ss me off.
@@ooohlaa13 cruelty against cats?🤔
Idk if your son was really picky but I hope you didn't just let him go to bed hungry because of it.
I jumped through the comments, and it looks like a lot of cat owners are very uneducated about their companion's diet.
You should think twice or more before you gift something to your cat, it could have dramatic repercusions.
(I am a veterinary assistant and my dad is a vet).
I don't believe most of this. My cat loves milk, cream, grapes, raisons, bones, and cheese, and a full mouse and tuna (chilli and lemon grass). Licks rocks and eats grass and the occasional mouse. He knows what he does not like. Very healthy and jumps all the fences and sleeps dreaming of his next variety meal...
I had three Norwegian Forest Cats. They lived to 13, 15 & 16. They were all on a raw diet.
May I kindly ask you to elaborate on this a little bit more. What was their diet? Thank you! ^^
Love those cats and looking for one .
@@someoneyouknow5040 First, they had free run of a super high quality kibble, they ate very little if it. I fed on the principle that if they could not hunt and kill it, I wouldn't feed it. So, I chopped chicken necks from a local butcher, they loved crunching the bones. That and rabbit meat, turkey meat and rarely salmon being careful not to introduce parasites. I would akso feed chicken hearts, liver and gizzard.
The last one doesn't apply to me. My cat LOVES trying new foods and I think that what makes her cool.
7:58 got me laughing so hard he’s deez nutz
Thx for this ❤️
OMGosh my3 cats have been eating avocados almost every day for several years? I am a vegan and eat avos every day and they love to eat what I eat. What about lactose free low fat milk? They like that, and yogurt lactose free. They love all steamed vegetables like corn, beans, potatoes even garbanzo beans and cabbage. They do have a small amount of butter on them. I thought the fiber would be good to help with the dry food. I give them 1/2 dry, 1/2 wet. They do have oil on them. I do not eat gluten so neither do they. They don't seem much to vomit but they do occasionally.
My cats drank two bowls full of milk for two days and they were fine
You can give them cat milk or kitten milk witch is found in supermarkets or pet shops especially formulated for cats ! Or just water is adequate!
Thank you for telling me about this information
I might get a cat or dog so now I know what to do and what not to do with a cat or dog
So now Avacados are off limits for cats? Well, this differs from what Jackson Galaxy says in one of his videos on this topic. He makes it clear that ONLY the fruit and no other part of the Avacado (( in very small pieces, not often )) is OK. But while I agree with the dairy products are off limits, I have a very determined, charming 3 year old female with a case of Pica that my Veterinarian will not address, and she will beg like the dickens when I have yogurt. She only gets the tiniest dab on my finger very rarely so I just give in......good advice all around though.
I have 3 cats that have been eating avos along with me almost every day for about 2 yeas when they discovered them. They are 10 years old and seem to be doing great, they do occasionally vomit but they crave veggies.
My cat loves eating little pieces of my cheese sticks 😂. And this is only a sometimes snack even though my cat doesn’t get sick from it.
My aunt's cat loves crispy stuff
My cat and dog love cheese sticks too
I feed my cat one day fully pigeon meat; next day fully duck meat; next to next day fully country chicken meat without hormone ; next to next to next to next day fish ( all varieties of fish but per month per variety) ; next to next to next to next to next day quail meat mixed with quail egg; next to next to next to next to next day rabbit meat that full day.
All meat after cooking only. And give her like soup along with the water she lives it. She will sound while drinking the soup part "surrrrrrrrrr sound"
My vet suggests to add a pinch of salt & pinch of turmeric powder to the cats food while cooking. He told every living beings needs salt for maintenance of blood pressure and proper functioning of kidneys. He told even plants need nacl. I've been giving the food as prescription and till today she is healthy. Now she is 11 months old.
I had many cats in my life only 1 cat loved chocolate no matter how much I would give it always comes back for more and more. Never had issues with it. The rest of the cats I had never even touched chocolate.
How long did she live?
Very out of context but
7:58 DEEZ NUTS
Lol all I give my cat is cat food lol
Wait but if tuna dangerous...
What about canned tuna? My cats eat it without feeling something
They learnt that from a not trustable site.
6:40
Oops
But that cat was greedy.
She stole a hot dog from me once. Luckily it was one of those 97% fat free hot dog.
RUclips man: chocolate is poisonous to cats
Me: and dogs
I know more stuff to keep my cat safe thank you for letting me know! Now I can make sure she doesn’t eat any of that food
My cat is obsessed with cheese and ice cream and she’s a 19 year old cat. She’s not fat or unhealthy
She has a super stomach
@@letyrxyshe did
JK she’s dead know
... 19 in cat ears ?!
Thanku so very much for this information
There are always exceptions to the rule, my cat refuses anything but a rabbit and chicken pate, I tore my hair out trying to find what she wouldn’t refuse!!
It would be simpler to list the things that aren't harmful to cats.
Always do your research before adopting any animal.Remember that they are dependent upon you.
You scared me when you said tuna because I give my cat a spoonful of tuna every night as a treat. Glad to hear that it's ok at a moderate basis.
Thanks a lot. I'll be more carefull now. I fed nearly everything in smal amounts. Not alcohol! My sweeties just steal everything.
I find it hard to believe that adult cats shouldn’t have milk. When I was 10yo, we had a cat (about 7yo) who was attacked by a big dog, and her foot got infected from the bites. For weeks, the dumb thing wouldn’t eat and would barely drink any water. The only thing we could get her to consume was milk. Not just any milk though… it had to be milk with strawberry flavoured Nesquick. She lived on the stuff for a month and a half before her foot was good enough to walk on. She started eating soon after that, but she didn’t want to switch back to water. She lived for at least another 3 years after that.
I gave my cat milk and cheese but my cats are always okay when they eat it.
A teaspoon or 2 of tuna every day makes a cats coat lush and healthy and shiny - tuna addiction? Lighten up catfood police!
My cat likes to drink a bit of coffee in the morning. He's 13 years old and very healthy.
... 13 in cat ears ?!
Thx 4 sharing
How about bread mixed with water and salty meat? Everyday. And raw meats ? Mom keeps feeding them that
Those foods could cause dangerous kidney issues in a few years, and the cat's kidneys may be permanently damaged by the time the symptoms become obvious. Or those foods could cause urinary tract infection, which can quickly kill a cat.
I've always owned Calico females and I let them have everything I have. Just in tiny amounts.
Calicos are sassy?
@@candiceruth10 I've had 2 calicos. Super mellow, very intelligent.
Milk is a no, because most cats are lactose intolerant. Chocolate Milk is 100% deadly for cats
My cat eats yogurt regularly. Its lactose is predigested by the good bacteria. Im lactose intolerant but the same yogurt is okay with me.
She won't eat meat with any kind of herbs or seasonings.
