9 HUMAN FOODS YOUR CAT CAN CONSUME
Do you
ever wish to give your cat anything more than kibble or canned cat food for
supper or a snack? Some cat owners feed their feline family members a small
saucer of milk, but this is not a smart idea. Many cats are lactose intolerant,
which means that consuming milk causes stomach distress, diarrhea, and other
unpleasant side effects.
The good news is that there are many safe options available for humans who want to feed their cats.
Here are several foods that your cat can safely eat, ranging from TUNA
to WATERMELON.
Remember
that all of the foods in this Article should be served in tiny quantities. It's
also a good idea to consult your veterinarian before making any dietary
adjustments, just to be safe.
1. CAN
TUNA BE EATEN BY CATS?
Yes,
cats can eat tuna, although tuna packed in water rather than oil is preferable.
Tuna can be used to increase the appetite of a sick cat, but it can also be
served as a special meal in place of canned food on rare occasions. Tuna, on
the other hand, should not be used as a regular meal replacement. This is due
to the fact that tuna does not include all of the nutrients that your cat needs.
2. ARE
CATS ABLE TO EAT SPINACH?
For the
most part, spinach is fine for cats, but there is one exception: if your cat
has ever had calcium oxalate bladder stones, you should not feed him spinach.
Aside from that, offering vitamin-rich spinach as a treat or adding it to your
cat's meal is a good option.
3. IS SALMON SAFE FOR CATS?
Absolutely!
Salmon is, in fact, a key ingredient in many high-quality commercial cat diets.
While wild cats consume raw salmon, this is not a good idea for your tame cat.
Make sure the fish is completely cooked before serving it to your feline buddy,
who will benefit from the protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
4. ARE BANANAS
SAFE FOR CATS TO EAT?
Bananas
are a safe and healthful treat for your cat, but as with all of the other
products on this list, they should be given in limited amounts. A banana, even
half of a banana, should not be consumed by your cat. Instead, cut a little piece
of your banana and offer it to her. Don't be surprised if your cat snubs your
gift. Cats, like humans, have a variety of tastes.
5. CAN
CHEESE BE EATEN BY CATS?
Because
many cats are lactose intolerant, you should avoid giving them milk. Certain cheeses,
on the other hand, are fine to offer your cat as a treat now and then. Soft
cheeses should be avoided in favor of hard cheeses like cheddar. Small slices
of cheese can be offered as a reward, or you can bake the cheddar into homemade
cat snacks that your kitty will adore.
6. ARE CATS
ABLE TO EAT BLUEBERRIES?
You
might be shocked to hear those blueberries are included in some top commercial
cat meals. This fruit is also a tasty treat for your cat, and it's simple to
toss a few pieces to her without causing a mess. You can even freeze a few
so your feline companion can enjoy a frozen treat on a hot summer day.
7. IS OATMEAL SAFE FOR CATS?
Oatmeal
is safe for cats to eat. It's an ingredient in many commercial cat foods, just
like some of the other foods on this list. While your cat can eat oatmeal, the
question is whether or not he wants to. Unlike tuna, which most cats love,
oatmeal takes a little getting used to. Begin with a tiny amount of oatmeal to
determine if your cat is interested before adding it to your cat's usual diet.
8. CAN
EGG BE EATEN BY CATS?
Cats can
eat eggs, but they should always be prepared because uncooked eggs can cause
food poisoning. Commercial cat meals, including some grain-free alternatives,
include eggs, just like the other foods on this list. Eggs are a good source of
B vitamins and protein when provided in moderation as part of a healthy,
balanced feline diet.
9. CAN
WATERMELON BE EATEN BY CATS?
On a
sweltering summer day, who doesn't crave watermelon? It's a treat that's
generally safe for your cat to eat, but moderation is crucial. Because fruit
isn't a natural part of a cat's diet, the sugar it contains can cause health
problems. Never serve watermelon (or any other fruit) as a dinner substitute.
Instead, as a special treat, serve a very small slice or two. To avoid choking,
always remove all seeds.
