You Can Sometimes Share


Your cat should eat mostly nutritionally adequate cat food, but you can occasionally give them a treat from your plate. All you need to know is how to select cat-friendly treats that are nutrient-rich. And make sure the fish isn't uncooked if you do give it to them.

Meat


Simply said, cats are carnivores. They must eat meat protein for a strong heart, clear vision, and a healthy reproductive system. Cooked beef, chicken, turkey, and small amounts of lean deli meats are all sources of it. If your cat consumes rotten or uncooked meat, they could get sick. Don't feed your pet anything you wouldn't eat yourself.

whole grains


Oats are easy to make and have a good protein to calorie ratio. Many cats like corn, and the grainy texture of polenta, a type of cornmeal, is perfect for them. The brown rice, barley, and wheat berries, however, might need to be first mashed. Smaller grains like millet and couscous are typically favorites of cats. Just be sure to cook any grains before feeding them to your cat to ensure complete digestion. Also acceptable are whole wheat breadcrumbs.


Fish


Omega-3 fatty acids, which are abundant in fish, not only keep your cat's eyes sharp but also help treat kidney, heart, and arthritis disorders. As a treat, fish from cans or cooked is fine. However, avoid serving raw fish with your shashimi or sushi. In general, avoiding raw fish is a smart idea.

Eggs


Eggs are a fantastic source of protein for your cat. But be careful to boil them. Similar to raw meat and fish, uncooked eggs might be dangerous for your cat.

Veggies


Fewer cats prefer fruits than vegetables because cats cannot detect sweet flavors. However, they are a good source of vitamins and are also quite high in fiber and water, both of which aid with digestion. Other wonderful choices include melon, fresh cucumber, steamed broccoli, and asparagus. But honestly, you might have more success sneaking them a veggie burger. Just watch out the patties doesn't contain any onions or garlic.




Cheese


In moderation, cheese is a high-protein snack that is safe for your cat. However, compared to the sort found in meat, fish, and eggs, the protein in cheese is less "complete." Additionally, many cats' stomachs can't take dairy, so be careful with the cheese snacks and skip the milk saucer.


Foods Cats Must Not Consume


If you want to share your snacks, stay away from these foods. Cats are toxic to them:


raisins and grapes with chocolate
Garlic with onions
nut macadamia
bread mix
In sugar-free gum and sweets, there is an artificial sweetener called alcohol Xylitol.

Keep your curiosity to yourself, you know. Foods that aren't for your cat should be kept out of reach of the animal.


Every calorie matters!


Kitty shouldn't frequently receive "extras." Regular meals should consist of premium cat food (look for a statement from AAFCO — the Association of American Feed Control Officials — on the label). Consult your veterinarian about what and how frequently you should add to their diet if you feed them food intended for humans. Overfeeding can result in a cat becoming obese and developing health issues.
