Found this one online while browsing for what cats shouldn't eat. However I feel like this area is quite controversial and opinionated. Also feels like half the websites are written by AI and riddled with ads. So if anyone has a good source as to what cats should avoid then let me know.

Anyways, I found this nice illustration, but wanted to hear with you peeps whether you have any experience regarding these food items.

Also what's your take on milk/sour milk for cats? My previous cat loved it so much, and she aged until she was 17 years old, and never seemed to have a problem with it. Also asked the vet at the time and she said it was OK. However every other website I visit tell to never give milk(dairy) to cats. So which is it? Does it just depend on the cat?

Just out of curiosity: What is the issue with the avocados?

[–] Drewelite 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I assume it is fat density. Imagine if a human ate an avocado the size of their head. That'd be way too much fat, saturated or not. Probably ok in very small slices. But you know, consult your vet.

Meanwhile, the cats in my neighborhood: b Pigeons? Food! Rats? Food!

Blessed be those vermin exterminators.

I'd argue grapes are worse than onions and garlic.

My cats will sometimes steal our chicken and the chicken bone/meat connected to the bone gets stuck in the teeth and they walk around with a chicken bone hanging from their mouth until we can get it off.

It can be difficult because they kinda panic.

But my cat only eat raw meat. He just kicks all other ready to eat cat foods.

Where does coffee feature on this list

ETA: this was fed to Crème Puff by her owner. Crème Puff is regarded as the longest lived domestic cat at 38 years.

I used to feed my cat raw quails. He loved them. I don't know how he is doing now as my ex got the cat and I kept the dog.
