If you have a cat – don’t ever feed it these foods...


Cats have a reputation for being finicky eaters – an it’s with good reason... 

Cat’s digestive systems are actually quite delicate and it doesn’t take much to throw them off. There are even a few foods that seem feline friendly – but aren’t. Here is the list of what NOT to give your cat:

• Raw fish: Human-grade sushi is pretty safe for people, but not for pets. Compounds in there could lead to neurological problems and convulsions.

• Onions and chives: Even trace amounts in any form could damage red blood cell counts.

• Uncooked eggs: These can expose your cat to salmonella and other parasites which can damage the pancreas.

• Bones: Bones can splinter and perforate the intestines. 

• Fat trimmings: This can cause gastrointestinal upset and pancreatitis in cats.

• Milk: Most cats become lactose intolerant in adulthood and milk can cause diarrhea.
