8 ‘ People ’ Foods Your Cat Can Eat Too

It is so difficult to resist giving your cat
some special treat, but make sure that
‘people’ food is good for your feline friend.
Keep in mind that your cat should never
have garlic, onion, kelp, raisins, grapes,
caffeinated or alcoholic drinks, sugary treats,
and chocolate, even in small doses! Also
remember that all of these ‘people’ foods
your cat can eat too should be given in
moderation!
1. Eggs
Since eggs are rich in protein, they great for
both people and cats. Cooked eggs, such as
hard-boiled or scrambled, can make a
perfect and nutritious treat for your feline
friend. Since eggs are an allergenic food
make sure you watch for signs of any
allergic reaction in your cat, especially if
you’re feeding your cat eggs for the first
time.
2. Fish
Such canned fish as tuna is good to share
with your cat in a small portion. This will
prevent your cat from eating too much fatty
acids, magnesium and mercury, which can
cause many health problems. It’s also
healthy if you feed your cat a small portion
of fresh tuna or salmon!
3. Broccoli
Although cat’s diet is dependent on protein,
sometimes your cat can get a craving for
vegetables! If your cat chewing on your
house plants feed them a small portion of
steamed broccoli. Just make sure you don’t
add any salt or butter to the broccoli!
Steamed broccoli will satisfy their craving for
greens and keep your cat away from
potentially toxic plants! Grass can also help
them with any digestive problems.
4. Meat
Since cats are carnivores, meat is another
best ‘people’ food to give your cat. Perhaps,
the best choice is cooked poultry. Even if
you prefer giving your kitty raw meat, keep in
mind that uncooked meat can be not good
for them. Also remember your cat shouldn’t
eat too much fat from meat, so give them
only lean cuts.
5. Ginger
If your cat has an upset stomach or car sick
problems, give them ginger, a natural remedy
that can counter nausea. Sure, not every cat
will want to eat ginger cookies or
gingerbread. So try to give your cat a small
taste of no-sugar whipped cream mixed with
some ginger.
6. Cheese
Most cats like cheese, and it’s an excellent
source of protein for them! But it is
important to remember that many adult cats
are lactose intolerant and milk, cheese or
any other dairy can cause diarrhea. If you
want to feed your cat dairy, give them a
small amount of sour cream, cottage
cheese, or natural yogurt and see how your
cat’s body handles it.
7. Pumpkin
Even though cats are not good vegetable
eaters, they seem to like pumpkin! Pumpkins
are high in fiber that works as a good
natural remedy for constipation, diarrhea or
hairballs. Buy canned (plain unflavored)
pumpkin, divide servings into ice cube trays
and freeze. It will be easier to thaw the
amount needed.
8. Baby foods
Cats can eat any kinds of baby food,
especially the meats. Most cats enjoy meat
mixed with vegetables, plain meat and the
toddler meat sticks. If your cat is sick, baby
food is especially helpful. Don’t forget to
check the labels to make sure there are no
minced onions or onion powder in the food,
because they can harm your feline friend!
Never use ‘people’ foods as a main diet for
your kitty since it can be dangerous to their
health. And remember moderation is the key!
