What is forbidden and what is allowed to give the cat to eat?
What should a domestic cat not eat?
Everything that is said in this article was written from a long acquaintance with cats, I am not an expert but I can definitely guide you on what exactly the cat should be careful of!
We as humans put all kinds of things into our bodies and we usually have no problems, our digestive system and the cat's are definitely different and what suits us can be very dangerous for your domestic cat!
1. Chicken or fish bones.
Chicken bones or fish bones can be very dangerous because they are very thin bones that can tear your cat's intestines and thus cause internal bleeding.
2. Chocolate.
Just as we recommend avoiding chocolate for dogs, the same is true for cats. Chocolate is a toxic food that contains taubromine, which can cause chocolate poisoning in the cat and, among other things, cause diarrhea, vomiting, rhythm disturbances and even death. Taubromine is found in a very high amount in chocolate, so chocolate is forbidden under any circumstances.
3. Dairy products.
Ever since the days when we used to watch cartoons we would see cats drinking milk or eating white cheese, today we understand how dangerous milk is for a cat.
Besides mother's milk which is known to be very healthy for every animal on earth, milk for kittens or adult cats can cause lactose sensitivity problems. The digestive system of cats is not able to break down lactose, so dairy products will cause diarrhea and digestive problems.
4. Alcohol.
It is advisable to avoid giving alcohol to cats because even in the smallest amount it can be very toxic to cats.
5. Caffeine.
It is recommended not to give him products containing caffeine, this can cause caffeine poisoning and this is because cats do not respond well to caffeine and it causes tremors, increased pulse, convulsions.
6. Grapes and raisins.
Grapes and raisins can cause vomiting and, in large quantities, kidney failure and, God forbid, death, and this is because of a toxic compound that exists in raisins and grapes.
7. Meat fat.
We are often tempted to give him the leftover fat that we have left and this can lead to a problem in the digestive system, causing vomiting and diarrhea.
Do not give live fat, it is not recommended at all, resist the temptation, it can only help to keep it and you a clean house!
8. Dog food.
Dog food is not recommended, nothing will happen if the cat eats a few bites once in a while, but dog food is definitely different from cat food, a higher percentage of protein and certain vitamins such as amino acids or taurine are definitely important for the cat and are not found in dog food.
9. Garlic and onion.
Garlic and onions may cause the cat to become anemic, garlic and onions interfere with the absorption of iron in the blood and thus damage the process of making red blood cells.
10. Heavy.
which damages the bones of the cat's body and can cause deformities in the spine and skeleton, which can cause death. Now that we've said that, if you give him a piece here and a piece there once every few weeks, there shouldn't be a problem. If you give a large amount of liver to your cat, you can cause vitamin poisoning.
11. Avocado.
Avocado is a very poisonous fruit to animals in general. Avocados have a substance called persin that can cause a cat to have massive vomiting and multiple bouts of vomiting. Avoid giving avocado to the cat.
12. Live eggs.
As with humans, live eggs can cause salmonella, salmonella for cats can cause multi-system damage, diarrhea, vomiting, and the collapse of the cat's immune system.
13. Tuna.
I know it's very strange because most people give their cat tuna, but Enino tuna provides the nutritional values your cat needs. If you give your cat a lot of tuna, you can cause mercury or sodium poisoning.
We know that tuna causes addiction in many cats in Israel, avoid it!
14. Meat and fish are pleasant.
As we have already talked about what fresh eggs do for cats, so do fresh meat and fish. Inside raw fish there is an enzyme that destroys essential vitamins in the cat and can cause loss of appetite, serious neurological problems and, God forbid, coma.
15. Yeast dough.
Yeast dough that has not yet risen can cause swelling of the dough in the cat's intestinal system, which can cause blockage of the digestive system and ruptures in the stomach and intestines, and finally, God forbid, death. In addition, the yeast produces alcohol during fermentation and alcohol poisoning can occur, as we also wrote earlier.
16. Sweet sweets.
Sweets like gummy candies are really not recommended for your cat whose stomach system does not know how to break down the multiple sugars and can cause damage.
So this is how we came to 16 types of food that cats should not eat and can bring your cat to an extreme state of diarrhea, vomiting, convulsions, system collapse and finally death.
