  • Most cats are picky eaters, and as such, less likely to be interested in some human foods than dogs, but because a cat's digestive system is different from a human's, some human foods can be highly toxic and even deadly to cats.The following seven foods should never be given to cats. If your cat accidentally ingests any of these foods, emergency veterinary treatment may be necessary and an immediate visit to the veterinarian is essential.
    Onions and garlic
    All members of the onion family (shallots, onions, garlic, scallions, etc.) contain a compound that can damage cats' red blood cells if eaten in sufficient quantities. Some of these are more toxic than others, and cooking does not destroy the toxin. While most cats probably wouldn't eat raw onions or garlic, even products that contain small traces can be dangerous. A particular caution applies to baby food, which is often used to entice sick cats to eat: some brands contain onion powder to add flavoring. Read labels carefully before feeding.
    Alcohol
    Alcohol can be extremely dangerous for cats, leading to intoxication, coma and even death. Due to their small size, cats are far more sensitive to the effects of alcohol than humans. Cats are often attracted to mixed drinks containing cream or milk, such as eggnog.
    Chocolate
    Even though cats don't have a sweet tooth, some cats will eat chocolate as part of nibbling on a cookie, candy or other baked treats. Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine. The darker the chocolate, the higher the theobromine levels.
    Moldy or spoiled food
    Some molds can produce multiple toxins that can cause vomiting, diarrhea and neurological symptoms. Spoiled food can contain bacteria that can cause intestinal problems.
    Raw fish
    Eating raw fish can result in a thiamine deficiency, which can lead to loss of appetite, seizures, and in severe cases, death.
    Raw dough
    Dough made with live yeast can be extremely dangerous for cats. The stomach provides an ideal environment for yeast to multiply. This will lead to the dough expanding in the stomach, which can be severe enough to cut off blood flow to the stomach wall and affect breathing. It can also cause the stomach to rupture. As yeast metabolizes the sugar in the dough, alcohol is produced, which can lead to alcohol poisoning.
    Cooked bones
    Gnawing on Raw bones can be a great way for kitty to keep her teeth clean, but never give cooked bones to your cat. Cooked bones can splinter and cause intestinal perforations.

    We shouldn't be drinking milk either. But if we had to, it'd be goats milk over cows milk. goats milk is alkaline and cows milk is acidic. there. give your cat goats milk.

    I saved one of my kittens one time it got into some cleaning supplies. She was less than 4 months. I forced heated milk down her throat with a baby bottle. While rushing to a vet, she was already turning cold looking all blue. I prayed as I made her drink the hot/warm milk. She threw up and I continued to feed her the milk, It took like 30 mins or less that her color and eyes started getting life back into her. I was so thankful she came back but it was the milk that saved her.👍
